SAVE TROUBLE ON THE ROAD
USEFUL SUGGESTIONS
Il' motorists adhere strictly to the rules set out below they will miss a great deal of trouble on the road: (1) Keep your car in sound condition. (2) Keep your car under control —it is dangerous if you cannot stop in the assured clear distance ahead. (3) Keep your eve on the road—one second’s inattention may mean an accident. (4) Never fight for your right of way ; the only real utility of right ol way rules is at inquests or damage suits. (d) Go along with the procession—• you have no more right to “drag” traffic than you have to jeopardise yourself and others by “cutting in.” Id) Be as courteous on the road as you are in your own home; give other drivers, and especially pedestrians, a fair chance.
(7) Know your local traffic rules, and obey them exactly; they are the motorist’s safety code and book of etiquette combined. (8) Take pride in your driving skill; if normal people are nervous to ride with you .something is wrong with your driving. (9) Don’t mix liquor, worry, or anger with petrol. (10) Study the local maps and experiment for shorter and less congested routes; you may be surprised at the time you will save.
