“The Board.” said the Afinister, “will he asked to. settle down to serious business right away. There is a lot of work ready for it, and I regard as its first task the revision of the Motor Regulations and the simplification of them wherever possible. What I hope ultimately to achieve is such a set of regulations that once a motorist has taken the trouble to understand them, be will be able to go right through New Zealand without breaking the law; because it will lie uniform and he will easily understand what ho has to do to comply with the regulations for his own safety, as well as that of other traffic, including the pedestrian. T am not so foolish ns to believe that the ideal will he realised immediately, hut if we beep our attention constantly on it, we can at least hope for continual improvement of all matters connected with .motor transport.”
