Although horns are needed on the road, their complete abolition in city driving would be a great advance in the elimination of dangerous driving. The driver blowing his horn frequently advertises himself loudly as an incompetent and dangerous driver. In most cases, the driver blows his horn as a substitute for careful driving. The toots, in the great majority of cases, confuse other drivers and pedestrians, and should be reserv ed for emergencies, which should be rare. If a pedestrian is about to step into the street directly in front of a car, the horn may save him; but usually it won’t. The driver, should always proceed as i 1 he had no horn, and be prepared to avoid accident by proper car control. Most Tootinqs Useless There is one emergency in which the horn is invaluable; when r "driver ahead backs without looking to gee whether the way is clear behind. But other toolings a 1 drivers are useless. In the era of open cars, the directions fron which the'sounds of hbrns camt w r ere relatively plain, but with tin prevalent closed car the situatioi is different. A horn sounding fron one direction may seem to com’ from a different direction accord ing as the windows on the' twi sides are adjusted. Sounds fron the rear are actually not disting uishable from those from the fron unless one sees the car that is tooting, and knows it to be tin

one.

(Sounding the horn when the: ca is at rest is forbidden in London and should be strictly suppressei everywhere, except for the one purpose of warning a backing car Drivers who blow their horns B call their sweeties from the housf should be penalized, and so shouh the persons who, when trafife is blocked ahead, keen tooting for m puprose at all. That we should forbid “unnecessary noise” in hos pital zones, and by implicatior authorize it elsewhere, is absurd. Is Dangerous Driver 'The reckless browing of horm is an annoyance to everybody whether they are trying to sleer or not; it is also an actual sourer of danger, since drivers and olTi ers necessarily adopt the protect ive attitude of ignoring horns Hence, when horns are blown ir actual emergencies, they do no* have the force and effect they oth erwise shouldl have. Living in r pandemonium of horn signals, w( pay little attention to them, and from this ignoring, deaths result. The horn-tooter is not merely ^ disagreea'tale nuisance; {he is a dangerous driver. tOn the open road, the use for horns is somewhat greater. Although it is true that every car should he provided with a mirror, and that the driver should be watchful for following traffic, nevertheless, no driver should attempt to pass another from behind with out giving worning some seconds in advance. This signal is not nec r essarily a “get out of'my way” de mand; it is a decent and safe warning of intention, not only preventig sideswiping, but allowing the leading driver time to slow down appropriately to pprmit the following car to pass in the safest possible way. No competent driver wishes to obstruct a car whose driver wishes to proceed at a high-

er speed.

Headlights Cause Trouble The management of headlights is one of the most difficult matters the driver has to struggle with. TheoreticaKy, and legally, headlights are adjusted so that they do not glare in the eyes of a met driver, and throw the illumination a sufficient distance ahead. Practically, it has not been found possible to keep headlights in Iggal adjustment. Consequently, one meets on the road every type of adjustment, from those which are quite inoffensiveto those which are completely blinding, constituting a serious danger. Even with legal adjustment, a slight deviation of the longitudinal axis of a car above the level of the approaching car, as is going over a slight rise, glares the lamps in the approachin gdriver’s eyes.
