b-,--
, Osdp n few day* ago, the newspap-
USB sarried a story about a man who
hid made a 17,000-mile motor trip
Without once blowing his horn. The
hem emphasized the point that he
handled his car in such a way as to
obviate the need of warning signal*
at any time. And in spite of the fact
that all cars have horns as standard
antfpuaent today, his example is one
which the average motorist could pro-
fitably study and heed.
Driving, under the traffic conditions
which prevail in most places today, it
« job which requires the undivided at-
tatioD of the man or woman at the
wheel. The modern car is built to re-
Sjead quickly to the various controls;
h«t the controls themselves still have
ip he opearted by human agency, and
it is just as vital as it ever was that
MM driver concentrate on driving. He
SUU do this best if he maintains a
•ala state of mind. And it is hard
to remain calm and cool when horns
are acreeching on all sides.
There can be no denial that the
ever-use of horns runs counter to the
Jateeests of stafety. For one thing.
It is a far-from-soothing influence. It
toads to confuse and hurry traffic. It
reflects the impatience of the horn-
tooter, and communicates that im-
patience to others. Startled by the
sound of a horn at close quarters, a
motorist will frequently pull over too
suddenly, endangering his own car and
Others. Or if he reacts in the other
of the two most common ways and
goto angry, he will probably refuse
to got over at all, and you have one
of those private feuds which often
Mad to “cutting-around”, and frequent-
ly end in mishaps.
I have seen a driver, rushed by an
insistent horn behind hm, pull out n-
te heavy traffic without a proper wait,
aad damage his own car and another,
while the horn-blower took advantage
af the conmusion and went his merry
way. And almost everybody has seen
a driver, startled by a blast from the
rear, swerve so suddenly as to en-
danger himself and others as well.
Proper use of the horn would pro-
bably be more general, if every driv-
er would remember that others on the
Streets naturally judge him largely
by the way he drives, and especially by
his horn technique, since that comes
forcibly to their attention via the
ear. The use of a warning signal when
about to pass is legal and proper;
but there is no reason why it should
be an insistent, ear-splitting blast that
says: ‘Out of my way! Here I come!”
Neither is there justification for that
other practice, prevalent in some sec-
tions, of leaning hard on the horn
button when the lights change from
red to green, to hasten the starting of
the cat's up in front.
The horn is a uselul accessory, and
one that should be kept in order.
Whether or not it makes its lull con-
tribution to the safety and pleasure
of driving depends upoTv the restraint
and judgment with which it is used.
