ULAN YOUR TRIP • JSifio.f .a motorist should never travel at a speed that is in excess of the niaximum legal limit. His spggd Should be such that he will > b($$^%£to stop his cax; under existlng conditions before striking a per- 4^ son or running into something. A * good rule to follow is to leave one car length for every 10 miles per hour of speed between your vehicle and the vehicle you are following. If a motorist keeps to the right of. the road except when passing he will not have to worry about another motorist suddenly zooming past unannounced on the right hand side or his vehicle. <*.« <>' These are but a few simple ways of getting more pleasure out of ^jj' driving. Next week we'll have a few more tips on this sanjte subject. A copy of the completely new "Rules of the Road" booklet will be sent to you free upon request. wrirr-to CHAR LBS -F.
