Ordinance Inoperative When Negligent Driving Charge Made

Geoffrey Herbert Jv of Wilmot Crem cent pleaded not guilty to a negligent driving charge. Arthur Chapman testified he was driving across Wentworth Avenue March 1 and turned right into Cite Street when he saw two cars on his left. He claimed a safe margin to pass, but another car struck his vehicle, overturning it. The constable said Hooper was negligent for not keeping a proper lookout. The defense argued the ordinance was not in force at the time, so no case existed. The ordinance now in force defines two carriageways separated by a strip as a one way street, making crossing the line a violation. The magistrate dismissed the charge, noting the accident illustrative of how overtaking can cause trouble.
