Advice to the Driver
One of the first things that a new driver learns is the advantage to be derived from consideration and courtesy
extended to others using the public highway.
Most drivers know that they we expected to turn to the right when approaching a vehicle, or to the left in
overtaking arid passing a slow moving vehicle going in the same direction.
After they have come to realize the accuracy with which their car may be steered and the case with which it
may be called upon to pan and leave behind another vehicle, possibly approaching from the opposite direction, it
seems natural for some drivers to display their nerve in not turning from the center of the road until they are
almost upon the approaching vehicle, Often, however, the other fellow has as much courage and takes the same
stand, and in the confusion which very frequently follows, either one or both cars are damaged on account of
collision.
In passing vehicles which we approaching, as large a margin of space as possible should be afforded, and in
passing a slow-moving vehicle ahead, pass him as quickly as possible and without cutting in short ahead of him.
CITIES CONTROL TRAFFIC - The lack of consideration on the part of a few careless drivers has resulted in
the adoption of very strict municipal regulations governing traffic,
Those who are familiar with city traffic regulations and apply them as well on country roads, will not be
likely to encounter difficulties.
The burning of at least three lamps, including two head or side and one tail lamp, is enforced from sundown
to sunup in practically every state.
We have provided a dimming coil to be used in connection with head lamps so that side lamps are not
necessary.
INTERSECTING ROADS - In approaching an intersection, either in the city or in the country, where a clear
vision of the road approached cannot be had on account of buildings, fences, etc., obstructing the view, the car
should be slowed down to a speed at which it can be readily stopped in case of the approach of another vehicle
from either side.
TURNING INTO ANOTHER ROAD - In turning a vehicle into another road to the right, the driver should
keep his car as near the right-hand curb as practicable, as shown on Fig. 1.
In turning into another road to the left he should turn around the center of the two and as in Fig 2. No vehicle
should be slowed up or stopped without the driver thereof giving those behind him warning of his intentions to so
do, by proper signals
