They know the facts. Ten of them, officers of National and Regional Associa-i lions, have described the most common driving and pedestrian faults. By J. P.

Such an fivpulse causes a driver to cut in and out of line, to pass on the wrong side or at the wrong time, to pass on hills or curves, to drive in the wrong lane, and at best to jam tra3lc and slow down progress. All t.QiX is called weaving and you see every day not only on the open b:ghway but on our bridges and on our narrowest thoroughfares. The man w r ho is going no place in par ticular with plenty of time to go there finds himself at the end of the Mne. He is not content with that so tie proceeds to weave in and out of traffic to get to the head of the pro cession. He is the bane of every safe driver, a menace not only to himself and his ow n family but to every other person. Figures supplied by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Un- ‘ derwriters for 1933 indicate that ‘ there were more than 150,000 ac cidents on our highways year, city and suburban, that might be traced to the weaving mania. More than 3,000 persons were killed and 185,000 injured. Truly, that is a ter rible price to pay! Our traffic regulations are reason able, designed to facilitate the prog ress of motor vehicles. If drivera wmuld only restrain themselves and stay In line these accidents would never happen. One might lose »j minute or two out of an hour oft travel, but that would be more th&A made up in safe progress. For your > own sake, if not for others, stay i in line. Do not be a weaver!
