he may expect concessions because he

AS to the regulations upon which the

est emphasis when informing stranger
of the local traffic laws, Mr.. Jose thinks
the speed limit, the right-of-way rule,
the manner of making left turns, the
stop-sign provision. the ban on driving
through unoccupied safety zones and
the requirement TO clear the path of
special police fire and hospital appa
ratus are among the most important.

law it is nor enough to tell the stranger
that % miles an hour is specified" says
Mr. jose He should be informed that
there are numerous areas where special
speeds are required. some of which are

be instructed to be on the lookout for
these special zone signs.
with reference to the right-of-way
rule. it is especially important that the
