SUPERIOR DRIVERS.

The following notes are intended foi the guidance of 'those' who imagine themselves superior to all other road users, and believe that when they pain their tax blight the King’s highway, advises the “Morris Owner” : 1. Always ride o.n the crown of the road and ignore the lequirements ol other traffic. The only exception is when, after being followed for half an hour, you are overtaken on the near side. In such a case cut sharply into your near side and frustrate the attempt. That will show the other fellow chat you know the rules of the road, and are not going to> be made to look small. 2. If traffic gets in a muddle and nobody seems to know who is at fault, a great impression can be made by picking one or two meek individuals, blaming them downright, rating them soundly, and cursing them in a loud voice. 3. Similarly, in case of an accident, no matter what part you played therein, make straight for the other party, quote one of two rules of the road irrespective or whether they apply to the caset or not, tell him you are amazed at his ignorance, and that you do not consider him fit to drive a wheelbarrow, much less a motor-car. 4. If you overtake another car, splashing the paintwork, vouchsafe to the occupants thereof a look of disdain. If they are broken down on the roadside on no account should you stop and assist. The speed shuld be increased, and the look should be deepened into one of the uttermost con tempt. 5. When parking the car, especially where space is limited, manoeuvre the vehicle so ms to occupy the maximum possible space. If any other driver .should dare to bring his car within Gft of yours, vociferate vehemently to show him who you are—and you will succeed admirably in making yourself heartily disliked.
