This has continued for several years and the law makers seem to be lead ing the auto drivers a merry chase, i Probably the most important bit of legislation coming from the 1027 legislature and which con cerns the driver is that about the Rules, of the fioad. They have been revised. The old law was re arranged and made more definite. To a large extent it has been based Qn the Hoover code . and now the motorist who travels over the country and knows the Oregon, eode will find that he knows the rules of the road in many states. This fact in itself will prove most beneficial to the auto drivers of this state. The most important part of House Bill number 13G, which covers the Rules of the Road, follows: Section 2. Rules of the Road. The laws of the' road everywhere. in this state are hereby declared to be as follows: 1. Drivers of vehicles proceeding in the opposite direc tion shall pass to the right, giving one-half of the road to each. 2. The driver of any vehicle overtaking another vehicle proceeding in the same direction shall pass at a, safe distance to the left thereof, and shall not again drive to the right side of the highway until safely clear of such overtaken vehicle. 3. (a) The driver of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, ' having due regard to the speed of such vehicles and the traf fic upon and condition of the highway. (b) The driver of any motor truck when traveling upon a highway outside of business or residence "district shall not follow another motor truck within three hundred feet, but this shall not be construed to prevent one motor truck over taking and passing another. 4. The driver of an overtaking motor vehicle not within a business or residence district shall give audible warning with his horn or other warning device before passing or at fire department vehicle giving audible signal by Jbell, siren or tempting to pass a vehicle proceeding in the same direction. 5. (a) Upon the approach of any police, traffic officer or exhaust whistle, the driver of every other vehicle shall imme diately drive the same to a position' as near as possible and parallel to the right-hand edge or curb of the highway, clear " of any intersection of highways, and shall stop and remain in such position unless otherwise directed by a police or traffic officer until the police or fire department vehicle shall have passed. (b) It shall be unlawful for the driver of any vehicle, other than one on official business to follow any fire appar atus traveling in response to a fire alarm closer than five hundred feet or to drive into or park such vehicle within the block where fire apgaxatwfrtras stopper! -inanswer to a fire alaramvdihift-ilTree blocks of a pofnt where-&jfire is in 6. The driver o'f a vehicle upon a highway about to be overtaken and passed by another vehicle approaching from the rear shall give way to theight in favor of the overtaking vehicle on suitable and audible signal being given by the driver of the overtaking vehicle, and hall not increase the speed of his vehicle until completely passed by the overtaking vehicle. 7. (a) Drivers, when" approaching highway intersec tions, shall look out for and give right of way to vehicles on the right, simultaneously approaching a given point whether ' such vehicle first enter and reach the intersection or not; provided, that, street and interurban cars and emergency vehicles shall have the right of way at all times at such high way intersections.
