Sir—With great interest I read in Reporter’s Diary the other day about the old van that had received a ticket for a traffic offence in Wellington when it was hardly able to crawl around Christchurch. My son had a similar experience last November. At first we thought it was someone playing a joke, in bad taste, even though it was an official form, because at the times and date listed on the form he was lying badly wounded in the forest behind Hokitika waiting for a helicopter to pick him up. Unlike the case reported in “The Press” my son received a round-about apology and a footnote wishing him a speedy recovery. Is it poor-sighted traffic officers, or badly oper-
ated machinery that brings about these errors? — Yours, etc.,
(Mrs) L. NEILL. Westport, February 24, 1982.
