Ignoring Right of Way is
Found Outstanding Cause
Of Traffic Accidents Here
Abuse of the regulations as to
right of way at intersections, is
by far the most common cause of
automobile collisions in Salem'; a
survey of the accident reports for
the current month reveals.
In 17 reports, the claim was
made that the other driver usurp
ed the right of way, and whfie
some of these are contradicted, it
(s evident that one of the two
drivers ' violated "the law in this
respeci.
Failuro to see the other car
approaching Is listed twelce
times, most cf the persons mak
driver wasn't watering, though-a
tew coc fused that they failed In
this respect.
Another common charge Is
that one of the drivers failed to
signal for a turn. This was listed
1
seven times. Speeding was
leged In only five reports.
Other causes listed Included:
Ignoring atop sign, one; at
tempting to. pass on intersection,
three; attempting to pass on the
right aide, two; driving on wrong
side ox the street, five; mechan
ical trouble with car, three; mis.
judgment, two; cutting corner.
One; turning around in middle of
block, two; intoxication, two.
One woman blamed tall weeds
for an accident. She claimed that
the other car did not have its top
up, so that she could not see It
across the tall weeds at the cor
ner.
Two accidents were charged to
the fact that the sun blinded one
of the drivers.
