Judgment in Sounding
Automobile Horn Will
Prevent Many Accidents
Present Illogical Method of Horning
Directly Responsible for Large
Percentage of Auto Mishaps

That the automobile horn is equal
~ important as brakes in the prevcn-
ton of motor accidents is a fact which
apparently very few drivers recognize,
according to a bulletin on this sub
! Jcct just issued by the educational
bureau of the National Motorists AS
| SOciation.
Ihcre are many situations, in fact,
, points out the n. NJ. A. where the
| horn alone must be relied upon; but
| without &opd judgment lin using it
the driver cannot hope for favorable
results. The bulletin SAYS further:
| Horning. as it is practiced at pres
emit reveals animal instinct. The
motorist uses it asa signal of APP
preaching doom. just as though he
! ana his car were entitled to special
privileges. Accident reports, as an
alNzcd by the National Motorists Ms
soclation,t show that such attitude on
the part Of the driver encourages an
atiltude of retaliation and dinclin-
alton to make concessions on the part
OF other motorists and pedestrians,
with the result that they take their
time about getting out Of the way.
| This may be the makings of an acct

depending upon his horn for safety.
| impatient sounding of the horn
often has the same effect; and if the
driver sounds his horn too loudly he

change his course of direction. hest

ard too soon, the driver will be under
the same suspicion.
! Moderation and judgment are the
| points to watch.
AS discovered by y. NJ. A. men in
Nestigating the subject. the average
driver does not appreciate how often
he is dependent upon 100 per cent. re-
suits from his hornng. There are
! many tight situations where failure
of the pedestrians to act upon the
| warning of the horn, or Il too violent
| and illogical response. will put the
driver in position where he is help
I less to avoid an accident, regardless
, of the use of his brakes and clever
steering.
If any motorist cares to discover
! Just how dependent he is upon effec-
| tive use of his horn the National
| Motorists Association suggests trying
i tho experiment of driving through
I'traflic some day without resorting to
the horn. He will find hat he is OBJ

his brakes and steering. And I. hy
