Overtaken Vehicle
Frequent Violator
Greater observance of the state
regulation governing the operation
of a motor vehicle being overtak
en and passed by another is neces
sary in the interest of greater
traffic safety in Oregon, accord
ing to a statement from the traf
fic safety division of the secertary
of state's office.
Recently Oregon citizens have
written to the office, suggesting
that motorists attention be called
to the rules requiring overtaken
cars to give way to the right when
being passed on streets or high-
ways, According to these sugges-
tions, many drivers fail to ob-
serve this requirement with the
result that the overtaking vehicle
is forced out into the path of on
coming cars or is unable to go
around the slower-moving vehicle.
“The driver of an overtaken ve
hicle shall give way to the right
in favor of the overtaking vehicle
on suitable and audible signal and
shall not increase the speed of his
vehicle until completely passed by
the overtaking vehicle," says Ore
gon law on this subject.
Courtesy and safe driving prac-
tice require the driver to observe
this rule when being overtaken,
the statement declared.
Oregon
law provides that cars always
shall be driven as near the right
hand side of the street or highway
as is practicable and when slow-
moving vehicles stay close to the
center line, other vehicles are held
up and passing is dangerous.
