Blinking Light Signal Dangerous Passing trucks on the bas». of a blinking light signal has bet-n cited by Secretary of State Rob ert S. Farrell Jr. as an extremely dangerous practice sometimes re sulting in fatal crashes in at least one fatal wreck the signal was given to indicate the way was not clear. It has iieen a commonly accept ed act of courtesy by drivers of large trucks to blink their near lights to signal following drivers that the road ahead is safe for passing This is most frequently practiced on long uphill grades, particularly whi're curves limit visibility. Evi- dcntly, however, the signal does not mean the same thing to all drivers. “Several people were killed in a head-on crash earlier this month when they attempted to pass on the strength of this blinking sig nal," said Farrell. "When ques- ■ tinned, the driver of the truck stated he blinked his lights as a signal that the road was not clear.” It was pointed out that there is no provision in the jaw requiring this signal or authorizing motor ists to pass on the strength of it. On the contrary, it is never under any circumstances lawful in the state of Oregon to drive to the left of the center line in order to pass when within 501) feet of any hill crest or curve which blocks the view of the roadway ahead. “While blinking lights has been w idely regarded as an act of cour tesy.’ said Farrell, "passing on the strength of it is clearly illegal and has proved deadly.” Backward Attack Th« African black porcupine do«« not us« th« sam« method of attack as that employed by his North American cousin He charges his enemy by running at them back wards.
