Everything Pushbutton
Except Drivers

Traffic laws can't be treat
led lightly. They are basically
important to the orderly and
safe use of automobiles and
in modern traffic con-
ditions. One man alone on his
own road on his own island
would not have TO agree to re-
strict his freedom to drive
anyway he happened to like. But
IA man on a public road shared
with millions of other drivers
has to obey the rules in the
interest of his own and other
peoples safety. It's as sim
pie as that.
Traffic laws just can't be
treated lightly" Ashton con-
tinued- "The attitude that it's
okay If l can get away with
it causes accidents. Every dri-
