Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 62, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 November 1911 — Both Should Give Away. [ARTICLE]

Both Should Give Away.

Some complaint has come regarding the giving half the road in case of an automobile coming up behind a team. The parties claim that sometimes when they come up behind a fellow with a team he stubbornly refuses to give any of the road no matter if there is plenty of room t 6 turn out. Now the law recog*nizes the rights of Both the man with the team and the man with the auto and these rights should be respected. There are plenty of men who are running autos who should be driving ox teams but all men should not be treated that way. The law says that when a man is overtaken by a faster vehicle, driving the slowet vehicle shall turn out and give half the beaten path, and in this case .as when meeting face to face he should turn out to the right.
