POLICY OF SAFETY
WISER THAN RIGHTS
Motorist Who Insists on Right
of Way Often Put to In
f convenience.

Being sure YOU are right and then
going ahead is not the wisest policy
for an automobile driver. 1t may be
excessively damaging to the anatomy
as well as to the car.
This point is developed by Fl. M.
Lucius, secretary of the Automobile
Club OF Maryland, who declares:
1.-The ma jority of automobile drivers
today are conscientious. They go
about the streets and highways, keep
ing within their rights. But the trou-
bile is that some of them insist on all
of their rights, no matter what the
cost.
Safety Is Best Policy.
"Says Mr.. Motorist: 1 will take my
right of way. for the law has given 1t
to me. If some one tries to take II
away from me he will have TO pay 1or
the damage done
Certainly. He will have to pay for
the damage done. He may pay for
dented fender, but, on the other hand,
he might pay for a broken leg or for
funeral expenses. 1t is much better to
be safe and lose a fraction of second
than to be hit and lose the use of one S
car or even ones limbs.
1.-The offender will be fined and the
victim will be the recipient of much
sympathy, but all of that does not help
a great deal. BY making allowances
for the reckless drivers that one does
meet occasionally, the motorist finds
that, though he may lose minute
now and then, he does not lose days
or weeks.
Then there is the man who refuses
to buy bumpers for his car, regarding
them as an expensive non-essential.
Bumpers Save Money.
"Says he: Il drive we'll within the
law and l am in no danger. Parking?
Well, if. any one bumps my car while
it is parked it is his lookout. He must
pay the bill
Much minor damage is done nv
drivers backing into parking holes
these days. Headlamps are smashed.
tenders bent, tail lights and spare-tlre
racks knocked off.
Il suppose that in most cases the
damage is paid fora but the motorist is
compelled to carry on his business
without the aid of his car while re
pairs are under way. He loses time
and money in that way. And then
there are cases where the offending
driver, seeing the damage, decides to
retreat without leaving his card
NO. 1t is much better to allow a
little leeway all the way around. Sur
render a few privileges to anticipate
the path of the driving fool.

Of the car constant he succeeded IN
making the road itself less effective as
a destroyer of riding qualities. l had
demonstrated to Smiths satisfaction
the fact that speed has much to do
with smoothing out the roads, but III
this I had not brought out the point
that constant speed is the vital factor
Drivers seldom appreciate it, but in
equalties in the road tend to make
the speed of the car fluctuate. 1t is
this fluctuation combined with the in
equalities of the road that throw the
springs all out of unison.

your trouble is that you allow the
car to coast down these little hillocks

to climb out of the holes. This throws

speak. and accounts for the rough-rid-
ing effect. Why don't you shift into
second so that the car will pull up
out of the holes properly and then
touch the brakes a bit whenever the
car is rolling down from a high spot?
You will find this smooths out the
road considerably"

This is the worst road in the
State" Smith apologized for the gyrat-
ing of the car on a recent business
trip which we took together.
"Why don't you smooth it down
little?" l asked. The question sur
prised him. He evidently thought
was trying to enliven a tiresome hour

was never more serious.
II admit this Is a rough stretch OF
highway" explained, but l thlnk
you're making 1t worse. To start WITH,
you're not travelling fast enough TO
get maximum results out of the spring
controls"
Smith stepped on the gas and was
surprised to find the car settling down
to a more comfortable ride.
That's smoothing the road" | said.
IF you could watch the wheels care
fully you would see that they are now
skipping over some of the holes in
stead of taking everything that comes
along. BY hitting most of the holes
harder the spring control devices work
with their maximum force, holding
the springs against a violent recoil. :
Missed the Elevations.
What surprised me was the way
SfnlI1 SlONeu uOW IL lOI SOiile VI ttiS
big holes, keeping right on at the
usual gait when there was a slight ele-
walton in the road. He did not seem
to realize that a car will get more OF
an upthrow on an elevation than on
depression even when equipped with
shock absorberS or spring control de-
vices. The elevation feature is still a
problem to be solved. Meanwhile wise
drivers solve it by slowing down or
by cutting across it diagonally.
l. This is the way to cross railroad
tracks With only one wheel striking
| the elevati at time the jolting is
far less severe. When Smith argued
| that it was not a good idea to sWerve
the car to one side to cut across di-
agonally I countered with the point
that it was perfectly possible for him
to do this when driving slowly and
that railroad crossings should be trav-
ersed in no other way.
What are you going to do with a
road like this that keeps the car bob
bing?" Smith asked when we had
come through the rough stretch and
were on newly but poorly laid part
of the highway.
You'll have to tune the speed of
the car to the wave length of the
road" I said, borrowing an idea from
radio. Don't take this too literally.
The idea alone will suffice to help you
smooth out many mile of this sort of
road At the speed we are travelling.
the cars seem to gallop or bob rather
badly. Perhaps it is striking the high
and low points of the road at just the
right time to keep the Galloping action
at it's worst. Why don't you try run
ming slower or faster?'
Changes Make Difference.
A little experimentation showed that
increasing or decreasing the speed of
the car about 10 miles an hour made
great change in the riding qualities.
Being in a hurry, we naturally de-
cided upon the higher rate of speed.
Since there was q possibility that
the unevenneSs in the road might vary
occasionally and thus upset our plan
by starting the car bobbing for spell,
I tipped Smith off to the idea of driv
ing with his head turned slightly to the
left. This braces the head a little
better and does away with that tired
