The question is ..isked: "How many motorists,' travelling at night, dim their headlights as a mat - .ter of courtesy to the oneapproach- ing?" The intimation here is that the motorist ought to dim his headlights but our experience is that very few do, and we may add that we» don't do 'it ourselves. • If you are meeting many cars and try- dimming your lights, you will have to drive with dim lights nearly all the way, and dim lights are • of little use td the driver.Olf there Ore few cars on the road, you become Ac- customed to th-e'-bright light and ,when you turn » on the dimmers, you are in darkness and likely to » go» into the » ditch. A better %v5r to Overcome titeglitte light' trouble is for motorists »» tc• equip their cars with one of A num- ber of contrivances • which protect the eyes from an» approaching light yet permitting the driver to see the road ahead. Some of these are con- venient and quite effective. • • II6W. SOME ROAD AdCIDENTS- • OCCURR A short Cone ago a 'sport roadster' went into the ditch at a turn in the road near Bayfield.
