NEGLIGENT DRIVING
SEQUEL TO ACCIDENT In fining Geoffrey Hamilton Thomas Todd £2 and ordering him to pay court fees 10s and witnesses’ expenses. C 5 13s t>d, at the Otaliuhu Court yesterday. Mr. F. H. Levien. S.M.. said it was very difficult to cut the evidence short to such a point as to just cover the charge. The evidence generally develops into the amount of the damage done, instead of whether the driver put out his hand, he said. The magistrate added that he was only asked to decide whether the driver was guilty of negligent driving, or had failed to comply with keeping fo the left of the silent policeman. He expressed the opinion that defendant did not keep to the left of the traffic dome, and he believed the evidence of the witness who said that after the accident Todd had said that he thought lie could do it. meaning to get on to the side road before he met the motor-cyclist with whom he collided.
