TrafficTalks
BY WALTER P. cHRYsLER
DRIVERS, OLD AND NEW

Every year flood of brand-new
drivers appears on the highway of the
world. They are men and women of
any age, and young people from 10
and 10 up. While there is no way in
which one can tell for certainty that
the driver in front of him is an old or
q new hand, 1t is fairly easy to dis
tinguish between person who has
had none at all.
The very difficulty Of telling whether
or not the person in front is a good
or a bad driver is ali added argument
for the use of caution on the high
ways. You can never be certain that
the car approaching you, as you APP
proach 1t, is not in the hands of some
one who is very nervous. A green
driver will sometimes turn directly in
the path of an oncoming car in sheer
nervousness. Approach all cars with
care.
When you pass a car that is brand
new, driven slowly and evidently in
the hands of a novice. give it wide
berth. Don't blow your horn sharply
and suddenly from the rear. Give q
fair warning, far enough hebhind and
If you have to pass closely reduce the
speed of your car.
Under no conditions should any
driver ever deliberately brighten or
annoy another driver on the road. In
some states there are regulations
against excessive horn-blowing and
there is no offense over which Judge
is more stern in melting out justice
than that of deliberately bearing down
upon another car and crowding it off
the road.
The new driver has great many
things to learn about the car, the road,
and the other cars. He is alert and
driving with intelligence and care.
The chances are that if he makes
slip in judgment it is due to nervous
ness, caused by the traffic around him.
Until he becomes accustomed to the
ways of the road, he should be handled
with courtesy and caution.
