Main Roads Board backs tree preservation and driver safety drive
The Main Roads Board pushes tree protection along road corridors and urges councils to prosecute tree felons. A reward of £5 is proposed for convincing evidence, with the Board funding the money. Detroit Michigan enacts mandatory shatterproof glass for all vehicles after July 1, 1984 following New York and Massachusetts. A South African judge gives three years hard labor and three lashes for a joy ride theft, promising stricter punishments ahead. The NRMA Safety Department warns irritable drivers are a major road menace, surpassing many crimes in casualties. California bills prohibit driving so slowly as to impede traffic, with officers empowered to arrest persistent slow drivers. Three-fifths of U.S. road revenue comes from motor taxes, while Crookwell to Bigga travelers risk quagmires in wet weather, needing detours and lamps. British motorists face over £200,000 in annual highway fines with 2500 reckless driving cases in 1940, concentrated in London. An inspection of Car Repairs Ltd. premises linked to NRMA Insurance Ltd shows a modern repair facility at Prymont Bridge Road, Darling Harbour, costing about £25,000 and designed to service insured clients efficiently.
