Considerate Driving.

"Considerate driving, therefore, has to
defer to the feeling of others, and 1t
is not too much to assert that con-
siderate driving is far from being uni
yersally practiced. and, therefore. mo-
tor-car speed IS. in consequence too
often of the illicit sort. Some drivers
seem to know by instinct what clear
ance is required and how much speed
should be reduced, and some rev tol-
low that instinct. But the majority
only follow the center of the road. IL
other drivers of the highway move 10
the sides, these drivers think they
have done all that can be required OF
them. They would bitterly resent being
charged with moral delinquency. Their
conduct is due to want of imagination
rather than to want of sense ethical
obligations.
But when moral sanction fails to OBJ
viate the Illegal use OF speed, iesai
remedies have to be employed. ne
public is anxious to be protected be
fore there is any actual danger, now
ever the circumstances of the case may
be regarded. When a district begins
to complain, the local authorities oiteh
notify the officers of the automobile
clubs that they viii have to take
strong measures if the nuisance does
not abate. This procedure is some
times sufficiently successful. But often

When protests against Illegal speed
become numerous the local authorities
intervene in the most ready and re-
munerative way within their power.
TOO often they set their traps at places
where the conSiderate and needless

offenders who provoked the measure
escape and harmless tourists pay the
penalty.
But the motoring public has recon-
mended that the general speed limits
he abolished, and that speed should
be controlled with regard to time, place
and occasion, controlling the driving
in such manner as not to endanger
