COMPETENT DRIVING
" The fact is that competence and courtesy," points out the Glasgow Herald," are wondei*ful substitutes for noisy warnings. The expert driver, even on a road provided with natural hazards and peopled by slow-wit-ted pedestrians, need not use his horn a great deal. It is true, of course, that other factors operate to m'akc the horn mjore necessary than it need be. So far.imost roads are imperfectly organised. Drivers' are often compelled to hoot their way out of a difficulty created by imperfect lighting of a road section, poor sign-posting, or by some other confusion. On a Well-arranged roadway horn-blowing need scarcely be heard. The more nearly we attain to perfection in traffic arrangement the more satisfactorily we get rid of noise and the fluster connected With it."
