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!
