COLLISION SEQUEL
DRIVER FINED £3 (From Our Oxen Correspondent J HAMILTON, To-day. The aftermath of a collision at the corner of Victoria Street and Liverpool Street, Hamilton, was heard in the Police Court to-day before Mr. F. W. Platts, S.M., when the taxi-driver concerned, Thomas James Dickson, was convicted and fined £ 3 on charges of dangerous and negligent driving. John Campbell Johnstone said that defendant’s car came on to him unawares, crashed into his car, turning it completely round and causing it to smash into a telegraph pole. The defence was that Dickson’s speed was not excessive. The magistrate, in giving judgment, said that defendant had ignored the right-hand rule, as well as driving dangerously.
