LEAVING THE CURB.
Just What to DO When Parked
Too Close,

Getting both front and rear wheels
so close to the curb that the car con-
not be driven away without ingenuity
is not such a common occurrence, but
It's so perplexing that it's well to
you.
1t is usually possible to cut the
front wheels enough to get the right
one away from the curb. but the
trouble is most drivers either back
the way they started forward or try
Strengthening the front wheels, then
booking. In the first case they find
themselves just where they we're be-
fore; in the second they find that
they are getting into a new wedge
between the car ahead and the curb.
The solution Is to drive forward.
turning the front OF the car away
from the curb as far as possible. Then
cut the front wheels as much as pos
sible and back just as though trying
to park the front of the car nearer
the curb than it was before. This
Evening star., 1923-09-30

throws the rear wheels over just a
trifle. They may clear the curb an
inch or 80. BY then Strengthening the
front wheels 1t is possible to back
the limit without sticking" against
she curb. II may be necessary to
repeat this process II the space Is
particularly smoll. When the back
wheels are few inches from the
curb the rar may be driven out Of
the parking space in the usual man
ner without further danger of wedg-
ing against the curb.

STAYING IN SECOND.

Just as second" speed makes the
best gear combination for quick
getaway so does 1t make one of the
best ways of stopping quickly In
traffic. When the squirt of speed is
simply q matter OF skinning past a
few snailing cars, and stopping ogain
behind a street car some zoe feet
ahead, remaining in second" will be
found handy for the entire job of
speeding up and slowing down. Nine
tenths OF the job can be done with
the throttle. which Is bit closer to
the ideal In speed control.
