The AUTOMOBILES In FRANCE

The AUTOMOBILES In FRANCE
Laws regulating the operation of au-
tomobiles on public highways have re-
Gently been adopted in France. These
provide that the machines must be
so constructed as not to allow any mat
ter to escape which might cause explo-
sions or unpleasant smells. They
must be built so as not to frighten
horses, so that nothing will obstruct
the view of the driver, so that they
may be lit up after dark, and the
handles regulating the machinery
must be so arranged that the driver
can work them without taking his
ewes off the route he is following.
Every vehicle must be provided with
two distinct systems of brake, each
capable of shutting off automatically
the force of the motor and bringing
it under instant control. One at least
of these systems must act directly on
the wheels or axles in such manner
as to bring them Immediately to a
standstill. All carriages exceeding
$50 pounds in weight must be able TO
reverse their machinery and run
backward. Foreign vehicles must be
passed by the French authorities be-
fore they are allowed to run in France.
