be good idea 10 incorporate the

fully ignore the rules of the road.
Il, who travel the streets every day
on a bicycle, have noticed a great
many cases where the rights OF 9th.
ers are not considered by some car
drivers.
AS an incident, last evening while
riding east on the cement bridge
was riding on the extreme right side
of the pavement, when one of the
hotel buses going east, passed me
on the left, which was proper. l glanc-
ed around to see how much room l
had, when a car going east at about
20 miles per hour shot past me on
the right, which is violation of road
rules.
II had thought there was not room
enough for safety between the bus
and myself, and had had swung out
to the right, the results would have
been disastrous.
