RIGHT-HAND RULE
MOTORIST BEFORE COURT GIVEN BENEFIT OF DOUBT In a case resulting from a collision between two motor vehicles, William James Bond was charged at the Oneliunga Police Court this morning with failing to give way to Donald B. Ross, who approached him from the right in a lorry at the intersection of Mount Albert and Pah . Roads. The defendant,- Bond, pleaded not guilty and blamed Ross for running into him. “The lorry being on my right hand side should have given way to me,” he said. The magistrate, Mr. F. PI. Levien, said that the statute dealing with giving way to a vehicle on the right was conditional on the possibility of a collision, and as there was an element of doubt in this case he would dismiss it.
