RULES OF (The road i A Few Pr inters on Malting the Highways Snfrr. Greensboro. Nov. d.S.—Rules of tlie j Road established nn4 practiced by those who use the highways would eliminate I many accidents, is t liy opinion of (’. \V. j Robert-, vioe-presideuj of the arolina Mo-1 tor Club. "If everyone would decide to , 'do unto other motorists as they wish to be done by' instead tu do others before, they get a chance -to do you' tlie ten or twenty or thirty eoosjma ailments of mot oring would be simile and practicable.' The trouble lies in tM| fact that motorists' will not interest rhon*<lvos in these mat ters until the accident occurs,i and then it is too-late. : "If I were asked to give my selection of the many rules of; the road. I believe I should urge that every motorist— "Be ready fob any emergencies by keeping eye and mind on the job: "Carefully watch for curves, erosss ings and bridges; “Keep his ear under control at all times; "Keep brakes and peering gear in Rood working order; "Signal to the maw behind when xtop ing or slowing downs “Signal a warning'to the man behind when turning or parking; "Be positive the other fellow has a chance before cutting in front of him; "Park where he dock not endanger the lives or property of others; "Make sure the way is clear before moving from tlie curb; “Never try to snve (i minute or two if if endangers life or property: "Obey all the rules of the road dictat ed by law, or common sense; "Be always careful, vgilant, courteous mil thoughtful—a true gentleman of the highways.” "Every item list covers every motor ve hicle evil or. as it might be called, mal practice. There is dimming ns road courtesy ; proper headlight adjustment: parking on the highway so that the road will be clear for the next fellow who comes along: recklesness, careless ness. speeding, liquor, dazzling headlights, no lights, poor lights, bad brakes, no brakes, proper signals, loafing on the highway or spooning. "There are so many of these that the rules of the road should follow the saying of the Narazene: ‘Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye like wise unto them.' ThjPF'is nothing else that covers this motoring situation. When a man buys a ear his failure is not his own' business for lie is immediately a (►art of the huge proverbial machine and his failure may cost the life of his fel 'ow man."
