This is sad hut true. Recklessness u? 1st part of tho motoring code with millions of American driv-j ois. Ami the inevitable result is, that, every year, 2f? or 30 thousand persons are killed and hundreds of | thousands injured in preventable au- j toinobile accidents. The traffic part of it is that tho enormous annual waste of I'fc an I propei ty is almost entirely unnecessary. The unpreventable accident is as rure as the dodrt bird. Someone is incompetent or reckless in the case of practically every collision, If rent or small, between motor cars. The blaru^ Way l>e laid in two places. is the apparent indifferoiicuAof many motorists to the fundamentals of safety. Second is the lack of strict licensing laws in j most Sfates to keep the incompetent \ and recklessness off the roud, and an i accompanyinff lack of enforc ement of j modernized. common-sen.>e traffic i codes.
