MOTOR-COACH "DITCHED,
WHEEL COMES STEERING
OFF IN DRIVER'S HAND.
A remarkable case in which it was stated that the steering wheel of a motor-coach twice came off in the bands of the driver was heard at Southend Police Court when William Herbert Kiddy, of Central- avenue, Southend, was fined £5, with 14s. costa, for failing to have fittings on a motor car so as not to cause danger to the pas sengers.
Superintendent Crockford said the steering wheel came off in Kid- dy's hands as he was driving to- wards Shoebury. He replaced it, and passed a remark that he had lost a nut from it, that morning. The steering wheel came off again later, and the motor-coach ran into a ditch. The passengers were thrown out, and although not hurt, they were badly shaken.
The mayor (Councillor R. Thurlow Baker), chairman of the Bench, said a defective steering wheel endangered the life of every passenger.
