The |pu blic is entitled to safety, but I with present conditions, as exist ing in some cases, those that , don't want to be killed must stay off of the highway. Even then. I sometimes those not on the immediate highway are in danger. The remarks were made by Judge Hartman in making de cision in a reckless driving case, which occurred last night.
