HOLIDAY FAULTS

Speed on Shore Roads The three principal faults of motorists during tlie holidays', according to reports made by the patrols on the staff of the Automobile Association, (Wellington) Inc., are firstly, cutting corners, overtaking at high speeds, and overtaking near corners, and failing to give the projier signals. With heavy traffic on the roads, the aslsociatiou com-mwits that any one of these faults is liable to cause serious accidents, and in fact, the association is surprised that there have not been more accidents in the city, through failtTre, esfiecially on the part of visitors, to give correct signals. Possibly some visitors’ are unaccustomed to town traffic, and in suddenly pulling up or changing direction, they are somevyhat bewildered and fail to give proper nals. ,» The associutGfy's patrols report, that, generally .spea’king. tlie speed of traffic, especially at q>opu(.ar watering places where there are large numbers of children playing, is altogether too high ami the association aippeals to those taking tlie enjoyment of a drive round Wellington’s bays to reduce speed considerably.
