Driver Of $70 Coupe
Fined On Three Counts
"The days of running along with
girl friends on the running board
are away past," Magistrate D. E.
Holmes reminded Barry Fisher, of
Kitchener and Bayfield, when, the
youth appeared in court here.
Such auto antics might have
dbeen all right in the "gay twenties"
when cars didn't go so fast, said
the magistrate, but he made it
clear that he frowns on them in
this day and age.
After Constable George Little,
of Bayfield, gave a vivid descrip-
tion of the actions of a 1931 model
A coupe driven by Fisher, the
youth was convicted on three
count.
,He was fined twice for careless
a driving and once for driving .a
ear that was in unsafe condition
for the road. On each charge, he
was fined $10 and costs, mals iris
a total of $30 and costs.
The court was told that Fisher
worked in Kitchener but spent
considerable time In Bayfield
where his family owns a summer
re, §idenee.
John Stewart, a crown wdness,
said he saw the old car, with two
girls standing on each side on the
running , boards, drive through
Pioneer Park where there was no
road. There were many adults
and children in the park at the
time, he said,
Constable Little said he heard
the car and heard girds laughing
or ;screaming. He gave chase and
stopped it to find that Fisher was
the driver.
Coupe Overcrowded
This first offence occurred on
August 21 and the other charges
were laid as a result of another
incident 11,0 days later.
On the second occasion, the car
was "bucking, snorting, backfiring
and shimmying," according to Con-
stable Little.
"if didn't have to look twice to
know Gairhose car it Zira ," he said.
This time there were two boys
and two girls in ,the 40 -inch seat
of the coupe, so Flatter was charg-
ed with careless driving' because
the vehicle ;vag overcrowded.
Speed of the ear an this occasion
was estimated at only lave miles
per hour.
Walter Westlake, garage oper-
ator, Who examined the vehicle at
the request of police, found it to
be in "very poor" condition.
:Among the defects, "the court
was informed that the ear's muffler
was split open, there was no tail-
pipe, the steering was in danger-
ous condition; there was no emerg-
ency brake and the foot brakes
were poor.
Fisher, who said he paid $70
for the ear when he bought it
some weeks ago, pleaded guilty to
-operating a car in unfit condition,
but he pleaded got guilty to both
chargees of carels driving.
During the hearing; defence
Counsel James Donnelly protested
that much of the testimony that
was being given was irrelevant.
He felt that tbo much attention
was being devoted to the car's
condition instead of to facts • bear-
ing directly on whether his client
had driven carelessly or not.
