KEEP TO THE BRIGHT. TO THE EDITOR.

Sib,—ln your Saturday's issue " Keep to the Left" says "that some of the accident* in London are cnused by inexperienced drivers, whose tendency Wotfld bo to keep to the right as they had been accustomed to do on the footpaths." Now, I question if an inexperienced driver' Cottld tool b, team through the congested streets of London at all; in fact, our experienced colonial drjyera, who would amaze Borria of the London drivers in negotiating our rip'-cctlritry mojmtsirious spurs, would ba puzzled at first in the llearfc of London.It is i^erjousnesa oC tHs cno hand and venturcsomeacss en the other that ore responsible for most of the accidents in tte London streets, a? the old and infirm cm always be safely piloted over tha streets if they have only patience to wait the escort of the police who are told off to regulate tho traffic. As to tbd milKmen, farmers, and gardeners driving to iaarket, of which classes London has fin euormous number more than the colonial tlties, ail these must learn to walk' many years before they ore old enough to handle the "ribbons" • so that Seeing that the rules of the footpath and the sea are to "keep to the right," I could have understood your corresps'ucient'a argument had he advocated an alteration iv tSe rule of the road for horses and vehicles, which, however. Sor reasons pointed out in my last, would not work satisfactorily, but I cannot; see a trace of reason for altering the other existing rules.

As I do not intend to occupy your space any further on (k'fs subject, I have to thank you for the space granted," and Sgain venture to hops that soon we shall see some ot bUr lairtp post 3 fitted with a sign requesting pedestrians 6ci Dunedin, April 23. Keep to the Riairr.
