FORD miim FOR AUCKLAND DISTRICT UNIVERSAL MOTOR CD. LTD. CHANCER'/ STREET. LEFT VERSUS RIGHT. A. MOTORING CONVERSATIONTHE COMING OF THE LEFTHAND DRIVE. "Isn't she a dandy little car?" said the T.lan at the Wheel enthusiastically to nis friend the Passenger. Thev were gliding along the main town road, steering for the open country, "I bought her on my last furlough at Home, and through being an officer of the N.Z.K.F., 1 nas specially favoured with a brand-new advance model." But, good gracious, man, you have a left-hand drive. flow long has that been the fashion in England?" " It's the coming fashion, my boy; in a year or two there'll be more 'left drives' than 'rights.' After all, everything that can be said in favour of the old style can be said for the new, and a lew other points besides." " I don't quite so® how the left-hand drive harmonises with the rule of the road. ' keep to the loft.' " "That's because you're blinded by J custom. Just think—if you're seated on tho left of the car you can see exactly how much roadway- you have on your own side; you can watch the kerbmg and the edge of the road; and if the man you're passing does the same, the two cars have all the available spacfl in which to pass. Doesn't that seem reasonable?'' "Yes; I must confess that it does. But what would happen when passing in a naiTow road, if yon had to closely watch the other fellow's car?" "Well, you can do it as well when p«at'?d on the left as on the right. Sit in rny place here for a moment; is there anything to block your view of approaching traffic? You can watch another car's approachandjndgeexactlyofyourability to pass by safely A.nd all the time yon have the advantage of seeing the edge of your own side of the road—and that's a big convenience pretty of tea, I can tell you. Another thing, I still operate the coitrol levers with my tight hand, and what's the result? Why, I have my left hand always upon the wheel; and that means having the right hand in the right j.dace. In fact, it's really the natural way of handling a car; it's not only theoretically right, but—it works. All American cars are designed and buitt for left-hand drive, and I believe the idea is spreading in England, judging by this car of mine. If you watch motor car development in the ne>s -future,you'll find more and more cars coming along with left-hand drives. _Mi:ie isn't, she only one about at the present time; but before long this l«fturive car will be lost; in the crowd of similar styles. . . Here's a big truck coming—watch how easily we'll go by. . . Now, what could be better than that?" H i ~—il — o ——— BEREAVEMENT NOTICES AND CARDS SHORTEST NOTICE.
