NAVAL MOTORIST
NEW FORM OF SALUTE. LONDON. April 14. By Admiralty instructions the safety-first campaign on land is being extended to the Navy. Current Fleet orders read: “Salutes by officers and men riding bicycles, or driving motor vehicles will in future be made in the ordinary way with ilia hand and not by turning the head towards lhe officer being saluted.” An official of the A.A. said last night: “The average motorist should . be quite callable of controlling his vehicle with one hand while he is ■sauiting with the other. “Saluting with the hand is probably a. good deal safer than turning , the head. In the latter case the driver would have to take his eyes off the road, and it is a fundamental axiom of good driving that a motorist should always have his eyes on the road in front of him.”
