THIS IS THE LAW”
By
Patrolman D. S. Skiles
——————— —z
The “right of way” law is best
defined by the State Supreme
Court iii Bennette V. Stephenson
and I quote:, The expression
“right of way” has been inter
preted to mean the right of a
vehicle to proceed uninterrupted
ly in a lawful manner in the di
rection in which it is moving in
preference, to another vehicle ap
proaching from a different direc
tion into its path.
However it does not relieve the
driver from exercising due caution
in trying to prevent an accident.
This does not apply to the “right
of way” laws that are set out in
our motor vehicle statue. 1. When
a vehicle is at a stop sign. 2.
When two vehicles approach an
intersection at the same time and
have not entered said intersection
the vehicle on the left shall yield
the right of way to the vehicle on
the right. 3. The driver approach
ing an intersection shall yield the
“right of way" to the vehicle al
ready in such intersection. 4. The
pedestrian has the “right of
way” when already in a cross
walk clearly marked. To me it is
best to operate with extreme cau
tion, since our registration has
increased and we are exposed to
many more hazards while driving.
Please drive carefully.
Galaxies contain myriad stars.
But the distances between them are
so vast that if two galaxies should
come together, they could pass
safely through one another. The
odds would be perhaps a million to
one that no two bodies would col
lide.
