DRIVING IN LONDON.
They Have Some Rules which Are
Found Nowhere Else.


England is the only place l know Of
where they drive to the left English
drivers say that by sitting on the right
and driving to the left they can better
watch the hubs of approaching vehi-
cles. and thus prevent collisions. /
don't exactly understand this, but it is
the explanation they give for driving
to the left
Quick going vehicles will turn q
corner sharply, but the driver raises
his whip to notify the vehicle in his
immediate rear that he is about to
turn. .'Cabbies" are more cousiderate
concerning fellow-drivers than they
are thoughtful about the lives and
limbs of pedestrians. All their atten-
ton is given to the roadway. Pedes-
trians must look out for themselves q
be run over. That is why so many OF
the London police are engaged solely
in attending to street traffic Yet
with all their vigilance, more accidents
occur in London proportionately. than
elsewhere. London drivers are polite
and very civil to each other. If an
obstruction appears In front of horse,
or if for any reason he is obliged sud-
denly to slow up. the driver will i'm
mediately notify the driver in the rear
by holding out horizontally his left
arm; and this sign is passed down
from one driver to another until the
very end of the line of blocked vehi-
cles Is reached. N. 7. Home Journal
