The Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1929. MOTORING IN LOOSE METAL.
GRAVE l'isiks are. taken by motorists in attempting to travel at other than a moderate speed through loose meal on the highways. Particularly is this so when attempting to' icross to the correct side when approaching another motor vehicle. It is less risky to keep on the correct side well before hand. At the present time there is much loose metal oil the highways in connection with the highways 'improvement schemes and motorists have experienced the skidding of ears when negotiating such temporary spreads. The Council employees are doing all that it possible to minimise travelling risks. Still, no matter how careful one may lie, accidents are liable to happen. This was exemplified in the unfortunate fatality on Monday morning, whereby a young man, experienced and careful in the control of his motor cycle, lost his life when attempting to pass another car, also driven with extreme care, in the loose metal. 'The safety slogan when negotiating loose metal is to go slow. Belter fifteen miles per hour for a few minutes than months in hospital or something worse. .
