The Traffic Rule Violators

Just at present its length does not indi-
cate any marked gain in the direction
of a more general understanding or OBJ
servance Of the rules, but that the drivers
and chauffeurS OF Washington are being
gradually instructed in both the nature
and impressed with the force of the law
may be assumed that few drivers will
willingly violate the same rule for which
they have been once taken to court or
the police station with resultant fine or
forfeited collateral. 1t would be foolish
III the extreme for any vehicle manager
10 take a chance on being caught when
he understands the rule and knows from
experience that To violate it may cost
him from 81 to $40. especially when OBJ
servance of the rule is easy. Yesterday
forty-four traffic cases We're noted in this
publication in The Star. OF these twenty
seven were for technical offenses, such as
driving the wrong way around a circle,
driving on the wrong side of the street,
falling to drive around the center OF in
tersectng streets when turning corners
falling TO draw as close to the curb as
possible when stopping. approaching too
close to street cars stopping TO let off or
