Road Hog Penalized by Oregon Statutes The "Foad Hog" is a peculiar an imal, but he is the same animal wheth er he is driving a one-horse cart, a freight wagon, a motorcycle or an eight-cylinder touring car. He is a per son who will take just as much of the road as he can and will give the party meeting him just as little of it as pos sible. He will drive by another vehicle or team at a 4t-miie clip, or he will keep in the middle, of the road for miles and just crawl along to annoy tne man who wishes to drive faster. Probably the "road hog" does not know it, but he is violating the laws of the st ite of Oregon and laying him self liable to a heavy fine every time he fails to show courtesy. Rond cour tesy is almost synonvnieus with road law as enacted by the Oregon Legis lature. A few of the courtesies made obliga thnt a vehiclo driving slowly must tory. en the "road bog" by law are keep nt nil times to tho r!ght of the road, le.iving, wharever possible, space for vehicles wishing to drive faster to pass at the left. The driver of any motor vehicle is violating the state law if he passes any team or another motor vehicle without ;;iv'i:g a signal with his horn.
