Whether it is carelessness or stu.
pidity we know not, but there seems tc
be a growing disregard of the traffic
rules among automobile drivers. Lo.
cal ordinances require cars to b.
parked upon the right hand side Of
the streets of Pennington, and to bt
driven up and come to stop in that
position. But some appear to bt
either ignorant of the regulation, OF
forgetful, or Intentionally disregard
it. Sunday afternoon a bad smash-uI
was narrowly averted, on the pub
lie square, "by hair" when driver
swung suddenly in upon the wrong
side of the street, and struck cal
standing in the correct position a
rest. It's bad enough when the poo
pedestrian, unable to afford motol
car, must dodge and double-quick ou
of the path of the needless or the bone
head driver--but when the occupan
of motor car standing perfectly still
becomes the target for their errati'
onslaughts, it seems it is time TO,
something to be done so the rules o.
the road may be better understood.
