MOTORING IN CAIRO
COMEDY AND DANGERS An amusing commentary on Cairo road traffic is made by a member of the Automobile Association (Auckland), Major C. R. Cameron, in a letter. "There is no such thing as efficient traffic control and it is fatal to imagine that a driver in front intends to do as he signals," he writes. "For the pedestrian, life is more dangerous than in the front line. The gharry drivers, who occupy the centre of the road, will hold up half a mile of traffic while they argue about the fare with passengers. Driving a car in Cairo is a combination of perpetual adventure and Keystone comedy."
