The Post might well. have added that the compulsory Insurance of cars would do a good many other things among which one of the most important would be the elimination from the highways of the reckless driver with his trail of accidents and casualties. o ‘ _--_‘ .\ -\‘f\fl 5cm; Autnmohile insurance will only allow a man 5! cidents before they star ligation.

Lu~ua Automobile insurance companies 1 will only allow a man so many lac- ciolents before they start an inves- tigation. If they prove to their own satisfaction that. the assured is cost- ing them too much moneq through 1 his negligenece. they cut him 011‘, l refuse him further insurance, and l his days as an insured motorist are over. This is for the reason that in making application for further in- surance the applicant is required to answer the question: “Has any company cancelled. declined to re- new or issue automobile insurance to the insured?" Particulars of any previous accidents. too, have to be given. With one. company declining to insure a motorist, another company is certainly hound to make a thorough invest'giation and if an ap- plicant he. found to he a reckless or negligent. driver his chances of 0b- tnining insurance are small. In this way, with compulsory insurance in t'm'ce. a man who can not procure insurance cannot procure a driving license. or even a license for a car. Instead of the government being COHIPPHPd to make extensive inves- tigations, the insurance companies would do it. \\ UUIH uu IL. It may he argued that everyone should carry his own insurance, but, we believe it. would he in the interests of economy and sane driv- ing were every motorist compelled to carry insurance against any pos-‘ sible damage he may do to others. The idea is Opposed by motor clubs and numerous drivers. but. it is a big question. and deserving of the fullest. consideration when the matter of how the increasing num- ber of highway accidents may be curtailed. Saturday of this week the law re- ‘ if quiring all horse-drawn or other w vehicles using the highway afterlit night to carry lights goes into ef- tl feet. So far not. many have given {I the matter very much consideration “ but after Saturday the carrying of lights on all vehicles will be com- i: pulsory. The light must show red t behind and white in front, and must be carried on the left side of the vehicle. There is little doubt that this new law will not finchavor in some - circles. No new law ever does. But I that does not say that it is not good law. Personally, we think 1 that. law or no law. any person who navigates our main thoroughfares after nightfall without alight of some kind for protection is taking altogether too many chances, as with the increasing handicaps plac- ed on those driving motor cars there is ofttimes a very good excuse to offer when a horse-drawn vehicle is run into and smashed up. No motorist may drive with glar- ing headlights, the light beam must not rise higher than forty-two in- ches seventy-five feet in front of the car, and no bulb stronger than twenty-one candlepower may be ‘1 .5!

While motoring last buuuay We passed a buggy equipped with an C effective, but low-priced arrangeâ€"Me ment which seemed to be an ordin- ary lantern globe with reflector and red bull’s-eye behind and the or- dinary light from the lantern ahead. This marker can be purchased in almost any hardware store and would. we think, comply with the law and could be used, with little inconvenience on any vehicle which the owner happened to be using at the time. The lights on vehicles act is not a new one by any means. I’t has been in etfect for years in European countries, and many years ago. long before the day of the auâ€" tomobile. we remember seeing all vehicles in Manila and other south- ern cities displaying lights after dusk. Canada and the United States are about the only countries we know of where this law is not in force. but with the increase in pop- ulation. and especially a population| that owns so many touring cars and travels so widely, it is no sur- ‘se to us that some such law is ' ce in Order that our t highways may be safer to drive on.
