AUTOMOBILE TO WAGE FIGHT
ON RECKLESS DRIVERS

Georgia Automotive Dealers Associa
lion Initiates A Nation V ide EighT.
One of the latest activities of
the Georgia Automotive Dealers
Association is the autiehing of a
crusade against reckless drivein /•
The dealers look upon the careless
and reckless driving of automobiles
at one of the greftest nuisances
which automobile owners as well
as pedestrians have to contend with
The State us well as the municipal
authorities hav» enacted laws to
curb til is manse, but the fact re¬
mains that a great majority of the
foolish and dare-devit drivers still
afflict themselves in the city and
iu the country upon the sensiable
users of automobiles
The members of the Georgia
t
Automotive Deateas Assseatioi
propose to put out theia psrsmal
efforts in order to assure the pub.
lie that they may either drive or ,
walk on their public highways
without being hmassed tnd prob¬
ably snjured by these smark-ulek 1
and foolish drivers. Members of |
the Association propose to take the j
number of every car which they ]
see being driven recklessly and re¬
port the same to proper authorities
for prosecution. Considering the
faet that members of this Associa¬
tion are scattered throu ihoot
every town cf any importance 111
the State, and are ail over the
highways of the State, their plan
should get fine results Pledging
themselves to this program they
adopted the following resolution
at a recen t meeting :
‘‘Whereas the reckless
of automobile on the streets and
public highways, often res ‘Its in
death atd desti uction and making
the thoroughfares unsafe, and the
offenders too often m king then
escape or getting by with a light
fine.
•‘Therefore; Vie it resolved that
the Georgia Automotive Dealers
y Association eoes go on record a<
condemning the practice of reck
d iving-ai d speeding of automo¬
biles and does recommend the en¬
forcement of the law to tile lain 1
against such otlV riders.”
