Auto Safety Rules to Cut Driver Fatalities
A historical plea lists multiple driving cautions to reduce deaths from careless driving. It urges keeping right, slowing at cross streets, watching for children, aiding traffic officers, ensuring dimmed lights, obeying signs, limiting speed, choosing safe stopping spots, avoiding speeding around corners, respecting right of way, not letting minors drive, learning signals, avoiding liquor before driving, and steering clear of jay walkers and riding on car edges. The piece ends by asserting more rules could lower the national death rate.
