Ignored Halt Sign

Albert Walter Hall, a lorry driver, was summoned for failing to conform to a "Halt" sign at Woodnesborough, on 8th Sept.

Defendant pleaded guilty.

Mr. Eric Weale, prosecuting, said that on 8th September, at about 10 a.m. defendant was driving a motor lorry from Ash in the direction of Eastry, and came to the "Palm Tree" cross-roads, coming onto the main Sandwich-Woodnesborough road without stopping at the "Halt" sign. He was not going at an excessive speed. Unfortunately, coming from the direction of Sandwich to Woodnesborough, was a private car with a trailer, and it had to swerve to avoid the lorry, ad it collided with the wall of the "Palm Tree" public house. Defendant admitted the responsibility at the time, saying, "I did not notice the "Halt" sign as I have not used the road for several years."

Defendant said that he had held a clean driving licence for 18½ years, and he had never had a case against him before.

Fined £1 and 7s. costs.
