The Law of the Road.

There is one part of the "rule OF
the road" of Importance to all who
travel the highways, which perhaps
is not understood as we'll as it ought
to be. 1t is found in Act 141, Sec.
1, and reads as follows: "a person
driving or riding a horse or other
draft animal or operating an auto
mobile or motor vehicle shall, on
overtaking a horse, draft animal, or
vehicle, when it is safe and practical
BILE to do so, pass on the left side
thereof, and the person riding or
driving a horse or draft animal or
operating an automobile or motor
vehicle shall, when it is safe and
practicable to do so, turn to the
right so as to allow free passage on
the left" This Is plain, but ii
seems that there is either no knowl-
edge Of it or it is misunderstood
more especially in the country dis
tricts. 1t simply means that the
horse OF vehicle ahead should always
keep to the right. 1t should not
turn out to the left so that those be-
hind may keep to the right. Their
place is not the right, it is at the
left. If there be a misunderstanding
of this there is opportunity for acct.
dent. In truth, such misunder-
standings has already caused acct
dents The man behind, expecting
the man ahead to keep to the right
makes his turn to the left. The mar
ahead, not obeying the Flaw of the
road" but not meaning any wrong
also turns to the left and the crash
follows. For violation of this sec
ton of the law there is a penalty
of $40. But not so much as to avoi6
fine as to avoid an accident should
careful observance of this section bC
had. ISt. Adams Messenger.
