Show Good Driver Is Always on Alert for Danger "Years ago the man who could drive fast was considered a good driver," says Charles M. Fayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. "Times have changed. Any fool can drive fast nowadays. The good driver Is made through experience and education. He Is always on the alert for danger. Here are some of the things that indicate in-dicate a 'good driver': "He stops at railroad crossings and looks both ways before crossing. On a grade he always crosses in low speed. He stops before emerging from an alley, and blows his horn. He signals his Intentions to those In the rear. He never pulls away from a curb without looking back to see If the road Is clear. He gets over on to the inside lane of travel when turning left, and he pulls over near the curb when turning right. He never passes another car going In the same direction direc-tion at a street intersection ; he knows pedestrians are injured that way. He slows down when passing schools, churches, or buildings where public gatherings take place. He nev-i nev-i er passes another car on a hill or on a curve. He gives the right-of-way to cars approaching from the left. He slows down to ten miles an hour at street car crossings. He is courteous to other motorists and to pedestrians. He knows the laws and ordinances, and obeys them. Everyone likes to ride with the good driver." |
