NEW CRIMES FOR MOTORISTS.
THE DRAFT REGULATIONS. . j [THE PBBS3 Sped*! Scrvies.] j WELLINGTON, November 18. j A good laugh was provided in the House to-day, when Mr. T. M. Wilford (Hutt) drew the attention of the Minister for Public Works to some of the proposals in the recently issued draft motor regulations, and asked him to look into the question in the light of common sense befbre the regulations were allowed to bo put on an unsuspecting public. "I will quote three of the regulations," said Mr Wilford. "'A driver who blows liis horn while his vehicle is stationary is liable to a penalty of £so.' (Laughter.) Here's another: 'There is a £SO penalty for removing either hand from the steering wheel unless the vehicle is :under full control.' (Laughter.) There is also a £SO penalty for not removing one hand to give signals to someone behind." (Loud lauehter.) The Hon. Mr Williams, who joined in the merriment, smilingly asked the member to put his question on the Order Paper to give him time to go into the matter. (Renewed laughter.)
