A Courtesy Toot
j Be/ore overtaking another vehicle in : j city streets, but more particularly on | j the open highway, always sound a \ : courtesy toot —not a blast —on the : j horn. Do it from behind the leading j : car, and not when you have crept ■ almost hal/way past. 7he blast of j j the horn in the other driver's car is : I I table to be dangerous under some j : conditions. It may even cause him to : i swerve violently to the side, so that : j his car may go into a skid if the j : road has a loose-metal surface. Any : j simple courtesy measure especially j : where it also embraces a safety factor, : j should be commonly practised. This j j one should be kept in mind for the : j approaching holiday season. j
