RECKLESS DRIVING
JUDGE’S APPEAL TO JURIES.
(Per Press Association—Copyright)
WELLINGTON, July 24. 'y“lt was deplorable the number of ) pepole who were injured through careless handling of motor cars,” remarked Justice Reed, addressing the Grand Jury, to-day. His experience, he ©aid, was that in very few instanes was it a case of inevitable accident-. Almost invariably there was negligence on the one sideor other, and someimes on the part of both. The degree of care demanded! from motorists was determined really by the verdict of common juries. If juries set a high standard -of care by resolutely convicting, when careless- t ness was proved, it might act a s a de» terrent to a reckless .-driver.
