Don't Fail To Signal

If eVeSy motorist would remem-
Der to signal his intentions before
he makes a turn to right or left
or Stops-in fact, before he makes
any sort of movement-a great
many automobile accidents would
be prevented.
The drawing at the right illus
trates the three principal signals.
In many states the law demands
that these signals be given. For
many years they have been con-
sidered courtesy" signals and they
nave come to have general accept
ance.
To turn to the right, as the top
drawing demonstrates. extend the
arm upward at a sharp angle.
To turn to the left, as the middle
drawing illustrates, extend the arm
straight outward toward the left.
TO stop, hold the arm downward.
u is not enough to stick ones
ann out the window. It is not
enough to wave it about. And it
is absolutely dangerous to give
the wrong signal. The signals
above mean exactly what their ex-
plantations say. Many accidents
have resulted because driver sig
nailed he was turning to the right
and then cut sharply to the left.
Many have been caused when the
signal indicated the driver meant
to turn left and turned to the right.
And the same is true of stopping.
The only safe way, the only sure
way to avert an accident is to fol-
low the signals. Don't be satisfied
