Worst Motoring Sin on
Public Thoroughfares

Most of the sins committed today
are by motorists. So the New York
Automobile club asked 21,0O0 car
owners. "Whar do you consider the
worst motoring sin that drivers are
guilty off" The sinners responded
nobly although somewhat divided.
Each one neglected his own short
comings.
Bur the sinner consigned to the
deepest pit is the road hog who drives
down the middle of the street. He is
charged with causing more trouble and
damage than any other. He wears
out more good nature and fills the hos
pitfalls aRd cemeteries with more inhab-
itants.
He Is the culprit that most of them
want to hang He is the one most of
them would murder In cold blood by
slow torture. He is the one the back
seat driver hears more lectures about.
He is the party who causes most
lapses in religion.
However, his side kick In meanness
head of the line. twenty-five per cent
of the answers would boil him in oil
without benefit of clergy.
Another felOn that received large
vote is the fellow who makes a prac-
tice of stopping. starting and turning
without hand signals. The demon
who RACES into an intersection to beat
a signal did not receive merely a com
plimentary vote. The moron who
rushes ahead of the red before the
green turns should hear what other
drivers think of him. Some ears are
sensitive and resentful toward those
who eternally horn in, or Just horn In
general. They have horns. according
to their critics. but they are moi on
their cars alone.
In this election a remedy was sug.
