A reckless driver who causes death or injury is a criminal -- just as much of a criminal as a thief; for reckless driving is illegal. Cutting in, passing on hills, excessive speed, driving slowly in the centre of the road, and all the other breaches of safe driving are to cease. RECKLESS DRIVERS BEWARE! Ontario has an internationally famous highway police force but they cannot be every- where. Most accidents occur out of sight of the police. We therefore ask with all" sincerity for the co-operation of public-spirited motorists to report to this Depart- ment instances of reckless driving. It is your duty to help check this wicked slaughter \--deaths that could be avoided, and the maiming and crippling of healthy men, women and children. Here is what to do! When you see a motorist driving in a manner dangerous to the public, take his number, make a careful note of the actual time and place and when you reach your destination write to the Motor Vehicles Branch, Department of Highways, Toronto, giving full details. We do not invite reports of minor ONTARIO infringements of the traffic laws; you are requested to use sound judgment. We will deal adequately with offenders. John Grant and son Hughie are TOP!
