If you drive recklessly and have not made up your mind to stop it, you are going to find yourself in serious trouble — soon/ The Department of Highways is determined to put reckless drivers off the road and keep them off. If you need your car in business, stop and think for a minute what would happen if you had your driving license cancelled. You might lose your job. But what is your job compared to the death, crippling, or injuring of a good citizen! -Reckless drivers are criminals going, along our highways breaking laws, maiming and killing defenseless people. Our laws are adequate and fair. Obey them and you will keep out of trouble; break them and take the consequences. You cannot say you have not been warned. Stop speeding ! Stop cutting in! Stop passing on hills. Stop taking chances of any kind. If you must drive slower than the average traffic, keep well to the right side of the highway or use the side roads. Do not block other traffic. & ONTARIO MOTORISTS WILL CO-OPERATE to put reckless drivers where they belong. Here is what to do. When you see a motorist driving in a manner dangerous to the public, take his number, make a careful note of the, actual time and place and when you reach your destination Write to the Motor Vehicles Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto, giving full details. We do not ihvite reports of minor infringements of the traffic laws; you are requested to use sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders.
