1. In this by-law “motor-car” and “car” shall have the meaning assigned to the word “motor-car” by section 2 of “The Motor-cars Regulation Act, 1902.”

“Road” means any road under the care, control, or management of the Taieri County Council, or any road within the Taieri County as to which the Taieri County Council has by-law authority to make this by-law, or as to which the same is capable of operating, and, unless repugnant to the context, includes a bridge forming part of such road.

“Bridge” means any bridge under the care, control, or management of the Taieri County Council, or any bridge within the Taieri County as to which the Taieri County Council has by-law authority to make this by-law, or as to which the same is capable of operating.

2.

4. No person in charge of a motor-car while on a road shall permit any person to drive or operate, or attempt to drive or operate, such car unless such last-mentioned person is competent to drive or operate the same.

(a.) Shall cause such motor-car to travel backwards for a greater distance or time than shall be requisite for the purposes of safety.

(b.) Shall quit such motor-car without having taken due precautions against its being started in his absence.

(c.) Shall cause or allow or permit such motor-car to be driven or operated, or to remain or stand, on a road or bridge so as to obstruct or interfere with the traffic thereon.

6. The person in charge of a motor-car on any road shall, when within a reasonable distance from and before overtaking any person in sight on foot, and when within a reasonable distance from and before meeting or overtaking any person in a vehicle or on horseback in sight, give audible and sufficient warning of the approach or position of the car by sounding the bell or other instrument which is by law required to carry attached thereto.

7. The person driving or in charge of a motor-car on any road shall, on the request of any person driving, riding, or having charge of a restive horse and coming towards the car, or on such person holding up his hand as a signal for that purpose, cause such car to stop and remain stationary as long as shall be reasonable to enable such person to pass the car with the vehicle or horse he is driving, riding, or in charge of.

8. Every person who shall commit a breach of this by-law shall be liable to a penalty in the discretion of the Court inflicting the same, not exceeding in any case the sum of five pounds.

9. This by-law shall apply to the whole of the Taieri County, and shall come into force on the thirtieth day after and exclusive of the day on which the same shall be first published in the Otago Daily Times after the approval of the Colonial Secretary has been obtained.
