MAGISTRATE’S COURT Fined £50 And Disqualified For Three Years

Charged with driving on the Main North road near Kaiapoi on June 6 while under the influence of drink or drugs, Allan MacKenzie Aitchison, aged 49, a freezing worker (Mr R. G. Blunt), was convicted and fined £5O and was disqualified from driving for three years by Mr K. H. J. Headifen, SM., in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday. Aitchison, who pleaded guilty, was also ordered to pay medical expenses of £3 3s. Sergeant J. M. Phelan said that at 6.50 pm. on June 6, the defendant’s car was seen on the Main North road just south of Kaiapoi. Aitchison was seen to swerve from the left hand side of the road across to the shingle verge on the incorrect side of the road and back again. He also weaved from side to side of the road while negotiating a series of bends.

When examined later by a doctor, Aitchison was certified as unfit to drive.

Mr Blunt submitted that Aitchison’s car had faulty steering, which would have caused some of the swerving. FINED FOR ASSAULT
