COLLISIONS TAKE PLACE
 AT INTERSECTiNG STREETS.
Largely Due to Cutting Corners and Cutting In Ahead.

The accident file records of the mo- tor vehicle department, while necessa- = rily still meager, are beginning to demonstrate that certain preponderat- ing classes of accidents can be traced to their contributing causes.
 This will eventually provide basis for further sound legislation.
 One or two classes of collision acci- dents have already taken such form that the department of motor vehicles has felt justified in giving them pub licity.
 One such class occurs mainly in trunk line driving in the country. The collision is invariably traceable to the attempt of one vehicle to pass another from the rear in an unSuita ble place, usually on curve or on the top of a hill, while another vehicle is approach ing from the opposite direction.
 The law governing this kind of pass ing is clear and positive: "The person the person vehicle overtaken shall do so subject to the right of way of those travelling in, an opposite direc- tion." etc.
 The duty of especial care is thereby placed upon any driver coming up to pass from the rear, to see that he does so in suitable place. that is. in a place where he has amply sufficient clear vision ahead of the car he is in tending to pass. to insure that no ve- nic1e approaching from the opposite direction will be met until he has passed and safely returned to the right side Of the road.

With such, and in general with all offend CTS of this nature, the department has announced that it intends to be severe In the city most collisions take pla ce at intersecting streets. Such are large ly due to cutting corners" and to neglect to grant right of way to ve- hic1e approaching from the right, and to cutting in ahead.
 Of these three causes, the first is thought to be the most common. A undoubtedly help conditions which oc- casion it, and town and city authori- ties responsible for placing such should remember that 1t is poor econ omy not to use them freely.
 The right of way to a vehicle ap- preaching from the right is a new provision of the law. It is probably generally understood, but is hardly ingrained enough as vet to allow Of a critical application of it as an abso- lute criterion for blame.
 Cutting in ahead is common and will receive severe treatment.
 It is certain that the adjudication of all right of way rules will be along That is. the person who is entitled by law to the right of way must exercise such right with. limitations Just because he is entitled to the right or way Will not. De lnteTpreteu that he is entitled to the right of way irrespective of others. The use must be reas9nable.
 A caEe involving this principle has recently been decided in the superior court.
