HOW TO DRIVE A MOTORCAR
in such cases they may find themselves forced—as they
think, in order to avoid an accident—to make a sudden
swerve just as the two vehicles are meeting. The other
driver, however, who is only endeavouring to teach
them a lesson, is quite comfortable and knows that he
is just missing the other ear and is not at all worried.
Let the motto then, when passing a vehicle going in
the opposite direction, be that both give way a little,
which is, of course, precisely as it should be.
Never steer in as shown by dotted line» except when
compelled to do so in an emergency.
Remember always to steer gently and in good time,
not leaving the movement to the last moment, when it
is necessary to steer suddenly. In conclusion, on no
account ever move the steering wheels through the
medium of the steering wheel when the car is station-
ary. It is a very bad practice and imposes an excessive
strain on the steering gear, which it is neither designed
nor intended to take.
