\Ylu»ii the Alotor Regulations come into operation on Saturday next, declares a responsible motor manufacturer, the driver of every ear in New Zealand will lie breaking the law. Tho particular phase of the regulations with which drivers will be unable to conform i.s that which calls for red reflectors on the rear of ears in addition to the ordinary tail-light. Disregarding the protests of motorists and of the trade, the Public Works Department lias held to its decision that to provide against possible failure of the tail-light, every car must he equipped with these red reflectors, and at the moment it is stated that not one of them is in existence. Reflectors of the size and nature required cannot be manufactured in New Zealand at the moment because the necessary material is not available. The motorists’ bodies protested that the reflectors were unnecessary, hut the Public Works Department gives as its reason for enforcing the regulations that the tail-light of a car sometimes fails while the driver remains in ignorance of this fact.
