Mr. Motorist, Obey the Law
of the Road
-Be
Careful
The statute books teem with laws regulating the driving of automobiles on the public highways. All of these legal restrictions have only a
single object the elimination of automobile accidents, with their frightful toll of killed and wounded.
QKKsm f&K, . i: 'J' i& , i 1
But there is one law not found on any
statute book that is of more vital importance
than all of the rest combined a law as
simple as it is obvious, but which, unfortu
nately, is not taken seriously by many
motorists.
It is the Law of Common
Sense Which Warns You
Never to Take a Chance
The observance of this simple rule will
do more to reduce to a minimum the total of
automobile accidents than all the legislation
that can ever be enacted.
Study the accounts of automobile acci
dents in the newspapers. In three cases out
of four you will find they were the result of
carelessness some one took a chance.
Death Constantly Lurks at the
Elbow of the Motorist Who
Drives on wet or slippery streets without
equipping his tires with chains.
Attempts to cut in ahead of a trolley car or
other auto on a crowded thoroughfare, or
tries to cross car tracks in front of an
approaching train.
Drives on the wrong side of the street.
Disregards the signals of the traffic police
man or disregards the speed limits pro
scribed by law.
Fails to use dimmers on his headlights at
night. A glaring light blinds an approach
ing motorist, frequently causing fatal col
lisions. Fails to stop and look carefully in both
directions when approaching railroad
tracks. v siJSjf
