BROOKINGS, OREGON P aoe Sportsmanlike K STAY //Y YOUR LANE POSITION YOUR CAR W hen driving a ear, follow the adage—"A place for everything an<i everything in its place,” There is always a proper place for your car on the street. That proper place is YOUR OWN LANE, says the AAA driver training book, ‘‘Sports manlike Driving.” Which lane is yours? That depends: How many lanes are there? What speed are you driving in relation to the speed of other cars? Will you make a right or left turn? Are you near curves or hillcrests? What are the traffic conditions? W hat do the road m arkings direct? Consider every one of these things in deciding which lane is yours. A driver out of proper lane is a trespasser, an outlaw, a com m itter of a foul. He robs the traffic pattern of the factor of safety. Obey lane markings. Stay in line at curves and hillcrests. Pass only on the left. Maneuver safely to correct lanes for turns you will make. Drive in your own lane!
