EXPERT DRIVERS ,
CAUSE MOST TROUBLE
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
Robbins B. Stoeckel said today that
the inspectors of his department had
experienced considerable trouble with
which he calls expert or master driv
are. It seems that these drIVers, who
thoroughly understand all intricate
parts of mechanism of their cars, take
liberties with them that a more care
ful driver or a novice‘aould not dare
to take. ,
Most of the trouble created by these
people has been raised through their
desire to pass other cars. when they
are positive that tor/the time boing
they can control their cars at a high-
er rate of speed than it would be pos-
sible for the driver ahead of them to
use. ln'many instances they make a
sweeping curve to the far side of the
road, and if there are two or more
cars coming on the other side. the
one ahead, will naturally slow down.
His lessening of speed will naturally
be so sudden, that a caste his rear
if it is coming fast, will collide with
the one ahead. Consequently accl-
