interviewing motorists on their solu-

Here Is the second question, with
four of the replies,
While driving at night, the high
headlight beam of an approaching
car blinds you momentarily. What
should you do?
Robert Klein, co-owner of sport

signal the other driver by blinking
the headlights.
''If the other driver doesn't
respond to my blinking signal,
would keep my own bright lights on
until he responds
An amusing and good answer Is
the next one.
Miss June Haworth, cashier, 1886

down some or even stop the car until
the other car goes by. If I were in
heavy traffic, / would sound the
horn, scream or do anything"
