LIVE AND LEARN.
Standing at a highway intersection with a motor vehicle inspector, a seasoned motorist recently observed some interesting facts about himself. The intersection happened to be a point where the roads lead to several principal points, and where any driver could well afford to look at the road signs and be sure he was right. What the observer saw, however, was that most motorists rushed past the intersection, entirely too busy to bother to see whether they Yvere on the right road. After about ten minutes most of them came back to the intersection again, this time giving the matter of precision of direction considerably more thought. It was a good lesson to the observer, and reminded him that making good time when travelling is iargely a matter of having a good head. The inspector estimated that the average hasty driver loses about a half-hour for each of his major blun ders at such intersections.
