MOTORISTS AND COMMON SENSE.
THE RULE OF THE ROAD. The rule of the road formed the subject of a few remarks by Mr Justice Alpers in the Supreme Court at Wellington last week, when His Honour pointed out that the best aid the motorist could possess was plain common sense. “It is sometimes said,” remarked His Honour, “that New Zealand must be a very wealthy country—because the authorities cover the roads with rough metal, and leave it to rubber tires to rub it in. However that may be, a motorist usually manages to avoid this metal wherever possible. The rule of the road is to use your common sense. We all break the rules sometimes.” Counsel: At our own risk. “Not: at our own risk,” rejoined His Honour, “if we use our common sense in the matter.”
