CORONERS DON'T WANT ROAD
ROAD COURTS
20 m.p.h. Speed Limit Urged
Traffic courts to conduct inquiries into road accidents are, in the view of the Coroners' Society, unnecessary.
Giving evidence on behalf of the society before the House of Lords Select Committee on Road Accidents recently, Sir Seymour Williams, coroner for South Gloucestershire, said that such courts would impinge on the proper principles of justice which had been applied in coroners' courts for so many years.
An enormous organisation would be necessary for setting up traffic courts and would involve a great deal of expense.
"A coroner'a jury," he said,
"should be entitled to return a
verdict that a person was driving DISCOVERY
to the danger of the public, und
the coroner should be able to commit a person for trial on that charge.
