The Rules Of the Road.
There seems to be considerable confu-
sion in peoples minds as to which side of
the road to turn out in passing teams and
automobiles, although to turn to the
right has long been the rule in this coun-
try. while in England and in some other
''foreign parts it is considered the prop
er thing to turn to the left.
II is both dangerous and annoying for
anyone to disregard common custom and
follow his own within as TO which side he
shall rein out; for should two teams meet
and the driver of one elect to move to the
right and the driver of the other choose
the left hand side Of the road, the meet
ing would either be protracted one or a
collision. In the case OF an auto and a
team meeting under such circumstances,
an accident would be inevitable; for an
auto going at fair rate of speed and
turning TO the right would probably re-
move a wheel at least from an approach
ing team that had meandered over to the
left
The rules Of the read, which are statute
law in some states and common law in
Vermont, are briefly" Drivers Of all We
hicles approaching to meet shall turn each
to the right Of the middle of the Travelled
part of the road. When this is unsafe or
difficult, either shall stop at the request
Of the other, while the one who can best
do so passes"
Another little trick that indicates sheer
perversity is for he driver of poky team
to jog along in front OF the swifter auto
the horseman to all Appearances suddenly
stricken stone deaf and consequently SUI
premely unconscious OF all the frantic
bonking going on in his rear. Concern
ing this irritating little practice, the rules
of the road lay down the law as follows:
"a driver driving more slowly than an
other, or stopping his vehicle, shall turn
to the right OF the middle Of the travelled
part OF the road, il there is room to do 80
safely, and the driver of the more frapidty
moving vehicle approaching from behind
shall turn to the left Of the middle Of the
road in passing"
