'DRIVE CAREFULLY ON TUEN MUN ROAD' APPEAL
******
THE POLICE AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TODAY (WEDNESDAY) JOINTLY WARNED MOTORISTS TO BE CAREFUL ALONG THE NEW TUEN MUN ROAD DURING THE LUNAR NEW YEAR HOLIDAYS.
SPOKESMEN FOR BOTH DEPARTMENTS STRESSED THAT CARELESSNESS WAS THE MAIN CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS ON THE HIGHWAY.
THE HIGHWAY ITSELF, THEY SAID, WAS NOT TO BLAME.
+STUPIDITY IS THE MAIN CAUSE, SAID THE POLICE SPOKESMAN. +THE ROAD IS WELL SIGN-POSTED AND WELL LIGHTED. IT IS WELL DESIGNED, BUT IF MOTORISTS PERSIST IN DRIVING CARELESSLY THEY HAVE ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME FOR THE HURT CAUSED.
THE PWD SPOKESMAN ADDED THAT IF DRIVERS PAID ATTENTION TO THE MARKINGS AND SIGNS ON THE ROAD, KEPT TO THE SPEED LIMIT AND WERE AWARE OF OTHER MOTORISTS USING THE HIGHWAY, ACCIDENTS COULD EASILY BE AVOIDED.
DURING THE HOLIDAY PERIOD THE POLICE WILL BE ACTIVE ALONG THE TUEN MUN ROAD AND, AS WELL AS REGULAR PATROLS, RADAR +TRAPS+ WILL BE SET UP.
+SAFETY DESIGNS HAVE BEEN BUILT INTO THE ROAD.+ SAID THE PWD SPOKESMAN, AND UNLESS DRIVERS ARE CARELESS THERE IS NO REASON FOR ACCIDENTS.+
TWO BILLS PASSED

TWO BILLS WERE PASSED INTO LAW IN THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
THEY WERE THE INLAND REVENUE (AMENDMENT) BILL 1979 AND THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE (AMENDMENT) (NO. 4) BILL 1978.
