The opinion that the penalties usually imposed by Magistrates for failure to carry warrants of fitness on motor vehicles were too light was expressed by Mr R. P. Furness (Marlborough) at the annual conference of the South Island Motor Union at Christchurch. “A fine of 5s is imposed for failure to carry a warrant of fitness, while for riding a bicycle on the footpath or exceeding the parking limit a fine of 10s or more is imposed,” he said. He contended that, considering the menace of an imperfectlyequipped motor-car, a more rigid penalty should be favoured.
