., 20 WILMETTE crs have been observed to handle their cars at intersections just as though what the traffic officer ordered would be obeyed by everybody and as though nothing in the way of a hazard could I lurk just outside the immediate sphere of the traffic direction. "The situation is identically the same as driving in such a way as to require the brakes to work perfectly for every stop. There is no provision for a suitable margin of safety." LIFE December 4, 1925 Outdriving Regulations New Menace in Motoring Outdriving traffic regulation ::., a new menace in motoring, is branded as an increasing cause of automobile accidents by Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club. . By outdriving traffic regulations, .he explains, is meant the habit of driving a car on the assumption that what isn't seen, or what hasn't happened, will be entirely favorable. Mr. Hayes placed the new hazard in a class with the habit of outdriving brakes and headlights. In the case of headlights, he points out, the' habit is to assume that if the road is clear within the area illuminated there will be no more immediate danger just beyond. "The newest evil in driving is the practice of outdriving the traffic re~ ulations and directions," says Mr. Hayes. "Observation made at principal points about Chicago show that there is a pronounced tendency to take too much for granted. If the automobile driver sees the stop-go sign turned in his favor he assumes no pedestrians will get into his way. In other words, he proceeds to drive faster than the possibilities warrant. "Just because a traffic officer waves to a motorist to come on is no r~ason why the speed of the car should be too fast for a quick and safe stop should any other vehicles disregard the officer's directions and come tearing out of a side street.
