Not out to get bus drivers says constable
Cecil Claude Taylor faced obstruction charges in a Braybrook case. Constable Turner and Driver Hearn supported that although a tramway bus briefly blocked traffic on Ballarat Road, the delay was minor and caused by driving style rather than a dangerous obstruction. The defense argued the bus stopped briefly for a passenger alighting. The case was dismissed for lack of evidence.
