It is a dreadful fact that a large percentage of motor car drivers daily violate the road laws of the states, munieipalii ies ancl roads. No day passes during which careless driving does nut cause death or serious personal injury in this state. JDven the larger cities are not exempt from il oadful casualties, though t he laws are sufficient, if obeyed, to prevent collisions. Too many drivers seem to think that the road rule is or should be: ‘ ‘E very man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. ’ At railroad grade crossings, sharp turns on public roads and thoroughfares, speeding is fre* quenlly a position and the road signals are almost entirely ignored In the small towns and villages the drives seem to have forgotten if they ever knew, that law pro vides that a signal is required at each street crossing or corner.
