To stop on • the right side of the road just past the crest of a hill greatly increases the hazard. As is shown in the illustration, vehicle No. 2 has forced vehicle No. 3 to turn to the left side of the road in the face of oncoming traffic and one car has been forced off the road to avoid a collision. Car No. 1 and car No. 4 will either hit head-on, or No. 1 will have to take chances on getting by on the right side. If No. 4 is traveling at 40 miles per hour there will have to be 150 feet between 4 and 2 to leave room for car No. 1 to clear, as it cannot stop in time. The person who stops on a highway should always park on the fill and never on the paved portion or traveled part of the road. To do so is not only in violation of the law, but one who does so places his own life in jeopardy as well as the lives of those using the highway. The man in the illustration at vehicle No. 2 has placed himself where he will cause irtjury and possible death to others as well as himself. If you must stop along a highway, park on the fill, or as near to the edge of the road as pos sible so as not to obstruct traffic. (Copyright, 1937. P. L. Cummings, Des Moines, la.) i Traffic Violations are increasing daily—motor vehicle accidents also are greater as the speed mania grips the nation and carelessness in driving remains unchecked.
