TAKE ALL CORNERS SLOWLY

Autolst Should Round Turns Slowly and With Caution—Clutch Should Be Released. One reason for side slipping may be found in the fact that some drivers Jtake corners at a fast rate of speed. Allowing that the pavement is slippery, the should round turns slowly and with caution. The clutch should be released if there is a tendency for the car to slip. When this takes place, very frequently the rear tires will lose their lateral grip on the road surface; Motorists should never steer a machine sharply from a curb when the surface is wet The reason for this is simple, in that the grip ot the wheels on the road is insufficient to overcome the centrifugal effect and the result is the rear of the car is forced toward the curbing. Sometimes a sudden speeding up of the motor will overcome the tendency to skid. -
