Magistrate Castigates Lorry Drivers: • A.R.O. Protest.
Transport operators in the Plymouth area are up in arms regarding a statement made by Major J. C. A. Anstice, when adjudicating as chairman at a recent sitting of the magistrates at Ivybridge. A St. Budeaux, lorry driver was charged with exceeding the 30 m.p.h. limit, and, in fining the defendant, Major Anstice is reported to have remarked: "You lorry people are the most dangerous people on the road; you don't care a damn for anybody."
A.R.O. Plymouth Sub-area has a(ldressed a letter to Major Anstice, protesting against a statement which is very misleading 'and cannot under any circumstances be substantiated."

Fining a haulier, Mr. Albert 'Lees, Ashton Road East, Manchester, at Salford Police Court, on Tuesday, for failing to keep the required record, Mr. Percy Macbeth, Salford Stipendiary, commented that the Road and Rail Traffic Act is too exacting.
Was the defendant expected to make his entries while the vehicle was moving? He could not make any entry regarding the time he started work until he actually started. If he did it beforehand he was in the wrong and if he did not do it he was still in the wrong.
The defendant, who was fined 10s., said that his failure to complete the entry was an oversight.
