Jin ALLEN E252] rq LT Sometimes we take democracy a little too much for grant- NY Gan pA Afra ed and forget to practice it. Take driving, for example— Rs RAT Surprisingly, some American citizens have the wrong slant on democracy. The only thing these people understand about democracy is that it’s supposed to give them certain rights and liberties— ‘for free.” But that isn’t the way democracy works. In our democracy every right has its obligations and re- sponsibilities. Anyone who claims his rights without also as- suming his responsibilities is taking something that doesn’t belong to him. This is the side of democracy that many people don’t seem to understand. What we call ‘rights’ really aren’t “rights” at all. They are privileges. They are granted with the understanding that they will be treated as privileges—or else will be forfeited. Yet the way we sometimes abuse our privileges is very strange. We seldom have any hesitancy about accepting our “rights” as a matter of course—in fact, some people go around demanding them. But when it comes to the responsibilities in- volved—well, we're too apt to let others worry about them. \ That’s just the way it is with many people who drive auto- mobiles. They sometimes forget about the things they're ex- pected to do in return for the privilege of driving. They over- look the responsibilities they contracted for when they were given their drivers’ licenses. Rules and Self-Enforcement ~ Good drivers voluntarily observe traffic rules! When you practice this kind of self-enforcement you're practicing de-: mocracy in driving. : It's a sure bet that the very drivers who resent traffic rules are the ones who need them most! But rules are neces- sary also for the driver upon whom they don’t have to be en- forced. Here are the reasons: 1. They are a protection against the illegal, dangerous, and irresponsible conduct of some drivers. 2. They make for uniformity in driving practices. 3. They give some assurance of controlled power on the highways—particularly when this power is in the hands of drivers who don’t exercise good judgment. 4. They serve as guides for drivers who want to do the right thing at the right time. Listed below are the most important and widely accepted general rules that govern driving. These are ‘regulation’ prac- tices. Supplement them with the traffic laws of your state and community and use them as guides for practicing democracy in your driving. Basic Highway Rules 1. Give clear warning well in advance of your intention to cause any interference with the normal flow of traffic. (By hand, by mechanical device, by position shift of car.) 2. Observe and take warning from the signals and the significant movements of others. (Cars, pedestrians, bicyclists, and animals.) 3. Observe and obey the authorized signs and automatic signals which are provided. to guide and control traffic. Drive on the right side of the roadway. Pass to the right of those approaching you. In general, pass to the left when overtaking. Give way to those who are trying to overtake and pass you., Overtake and pass other cars only when the view ahead is unobstructed and shows ample clear room for the the passing maneuver. y 8. A car moving on a highway or street of major import- ance has the right of way over the car crossing or en- tering from a minor road or private driveway. A car approaching an intersection shall yield the right of way to any car which has already entered the inter- section from a cross street. ‘ 11. If two cars approaching on different streets reach an intersection at the same time, the car on the left must yield the right of way to the car on the right. A car must yield the right of way to pedestrians cross- ing at intersections or on any marked crosswalks. A car making a left turn must approach and start such turn from the center lane or left side of its half of the roadway. A car making a left turn must yield the right of way to all cars moving in the opposite direction which its turn might block or hinder. STATE POLICE SAY A car making a right turn must approach and start such turn from the curb lane or right side of its half of the roadway. : ; Park your car off the traveled way, where it will not oo NSU 10. . live! 12. 13, 14. 15.
