RIFLES OF THE ROAD.
From The Utica Press.


II is the long blished custom In this country
that vehicles meeting on any street or highway
shall turn TO the right. Some suppose that TINS IS
only the unwritten law OF the road, but as matter
OF TACT IL is the statute books. A special sec
ton defines that carriages wagons. carts, seighs,
sleds bicycles tricycles and all other vehicles are
have the left wheels of his vehicle the right OF
the centre OF the street. In word. the statute
is an authoritative adoption of Uncle David Gray :
motto OF Fair play and half the road" While
BICYCLES are included enjoying this privilege. and
horsemen are required 10 extend TO them the same
courtesy they would another vehicle drawn by
horses the same restriction IL put upon wheelmen
and wheelwomen. They, too. must turn 10 the
right and II they fail to do and a collision
occurs they have one but themselves 10 hold
legally accountable. good -natured observance
OF the law on the part OF all concerned will result
i'm absolute safety and freedom from accident.
While some drivers perhaps unmndful OF this
rule IL is equally that some cyclists are either
ignorant OF IT do not see Mt to live up TO its
requirements. They take their own chances when
they pass approaching horse on the left. 1t
should also be remembered that whenever horse
man or wheelman gives hail the road, that is All
that is required and that neither can legally be
asked TO give the whole OF IL. highways were
perhaps originally made for vehicles drawn by
horses but the Introduction OF the bicycle and Its
adoption into general use AFFORD II the same facili-
ties rights and privileges OF other vehicles on the
roads The greatest danger Is from inexperienced
riders whose nerves sometimes are ratified In the
presence OF approaching vehicles. Constant care
IS necessary and II exercised mishaps can be easily
avoided.
