TOO DIM!
BUS TAIL-LIGHTS GRAND JURY’S RECOMMENDATION Tail lights on motor-buses are often too dim, and the general public is thereby endangered, according to the Grand Jury of the Supreme Court. In finding a “no bill” in the case in which a young man was charged with having recklessly driven a motorcycle and sidecar in Great North Road, causing death, the Grand Jury recommended that a more effective provision should be made for lighting the backs of the buses. His Honour, Mr. Justice Stringer, said that he would take care that the recommendation went to the authorities who could enforce it. In his charge to the Grand Jury, his Honour had said that the evidence against the accused was weak. He had not noticed a stationary motorbus on the roadside on account of its tail light being dim, and when he had swerved to avoid it he struck a pedestrian.
