( | LIGHTING OF MOTOR VEHICLES (Waring Lights On Cars Cause Many Wrecks Will Ask Legislature To Curb This Menace. W inston-Salcni, 0.-t. ]♦». —Among the important legislation in the in , tcrest of the motoring public that! Ithe Winston-Salem Automobile Club | will advocate before the forthcoming regular session of the North Carolina ! Legislature will a law to curb the : headlight menace. This announcement was made to i day by the local Club with the state j nient that immediately following the . -tato election a campaign of educa ition will be carried on with a view of directing the attention of the state i legislators to the necessity of adop ting proper legislation. According to statistics gathered jly the American Automobile Asso ciation, with which the local dub is affirmed, unregulated headlights are one of the greatest menaces >f the | motoring public. Many serious ac cidents can be traced to the lack of ! ,-iii' h regulation, and the local club i feels that the matter is one calling | for uniform state regulation. The problem of glaring or insuf ficient head light - and the lai k of ! lights on horse drawn vehicles is 'one that other states have handled |as state measures. With the great | amount of automobile travel that takes place in North Carolina, both by tourists and motorists going from i one city to another, the headlight | menace is properly a state wide mat , tor. It would not do for each coun ty to adopt separate ordinances as it : would be manifestly impossible for I a motorist to be familiar with the ! many laws that would prevail in the 'different cities and counties. In a bulletin of the American j Automobile Association the follow i ing interesting comments are made on this subject: "Improper lighting of motor ve hicles is responsible for numerous accidents, especially on country roads. The blame for such accidents is generally placed on glaring head lights. As a matter of fact many lof these accidents are due to insuf- J ticient light to enable the motorist to see where he is going. A head light which is producing enough light on the road- which it will do if prop erly equipped—will not bother the other fellow provided he is similarly ; equipped. The chii f cause c.f glare (appears to be faulty adjustment of bulbs in the headlights. What the motorist wants is light and more I light, but he also wants it thrown (down on the road where it will do 'some good and do the other fellow I no harm. j "No motor vehicle should be al | lowed to operate unless it has suf ' ficier.t light, so adjusted as to en- I able the driver to distinguish very cl •arly vehicles, persons or objects ai least two hundred feet ahead, j Equipped with thi approved lenses and bulbs properly fo.ussed in ac cordance with the mli.- laid down !by the illuminating Engineering j Society, the horizontal rays thus pro ; duced are so concentrated on the l road surface as to eliminate glare, j which is dangerous t: • both niotor- I is: am! i edtstrain."
