ity of accidents happen at street in-
tersections.
At street intersections, a motor car
approaching from your right- hand,
side has the right-of-way.
Reckless driving is always illegal,
no matter what speed.
The majority of fast drivers have
nothing to do when they get there,
They are a menace to themselves,
to those whom they pass, and a nui-
sance to the people who reside along
the road.
When you meet a vehicle, pass on
the right; when you overtake one,
pass on the left.
Do not "cut in." When you over-
take a vehicle, and another is ap-
proaching, custom and safety give
the right-of-way to the approaching
vehicle.
Do not change speed or direction
suddenly. Indicate your intention by
holding your hand up if you wish to
stop, and to the side if you are going
to turn. There is usually a car behind
you.
Do not drive with glaring head-
lights.
Pedestrians who have started to
cross a street at reasonable distance
from an approaching motor car have
the right to do so at the pace of an
ordinary walk, and the motorist has
no right to compel the pedestrian to
rush or run for safety by the insol-
ent blowing of the horn.
SLACKEN speed when approach-
ing pedestrians, blow the horn if
thought necessary to warn them, but
permit them to cross the street in
safety at a reasonable pace. Re-
member there are old people, inval-
ids and children.
The foregoing rules for motorists
do not excuse pedestrians who fail to
Look before stepping from the curb
or attempting to cross the street, or
who inconsiderately or unnecessarily
stroll or stand still in front of a car,
compelling the motorist to jam the
brakes and shift gears. The pedes-
trian should look and have consid-
eration for the convenience of the
approaching motorist, as well as for
his own safety.
When on a street of small houses
and large families, and the family
principally in the street, especially
after school hours—Drive Slowly.
A child is not responsible under the
law. You are.
Young and inexperienced drivers
frequently drive with the muffler
open. Unnecessary noise is illegal
and objectionable.
If you drive for "hire, pay or
gain," it is illegal to do so without
passing the prescribed examination
and obtaining a Provincial license.
It is illegal to employ a chauffeur
who has not a drivers license, and
who is not registered for the year.
See that every driven in your employ
wears the badge.
Do your hest in making Ontario
noted for good and Careful driving.
