THE ONE-EYED CAR MENACE
One of the most dangerous fea
tures with which autoi?ts have to
deal in traffic is the one-eyed auto
mobile. Traffic officers complain
that it presents a problem most per
plexing.
In New Jersey, they have a law
requiring all motorists to carry an
extra headlight bulb as part of their
equipment.
Such a law in Georgia would re
duce the number of accidents mater
ially and possibly save many lives
during the course of a year.
An automobile operating with a
.‘ingle light is dangerous from many
standpoints.
Drivers of autos as well as officers
find it hard to 'determine the exact
location such earn are occupying on
thc streets and highways consequent See and hear the new 1931 Radi
