JAPANESE MOTOR LAWS.
CONSIDERATION FOR PEDESTRIANS. If your pet peeve is that insect whose automobile splashes your stockings or your new suit with mud as he goes whirling past, then you should have a soft and sympathetic spot in your heart for the lawmakers of Old Japan. For the polite but firm statutes of this country make splashguards for automobile wheels mandatory during rainy weather.
The law provides that all automobiles be equipped with the wheel splash guards from the humble flivver up to the royal sedans of the Imperial families.
The car owned by Prince Kitoshirakawa has specially constructed guards on the outer edges of ill four wheels. These splash guards are furnished by dealers in Japan, and are usually effective in protecting pedestrians from the annoyance of mud spattering.
