Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	Top left: A car runs a stop sign because the driver could not see the sign; it was too low to be seen over the top of a car parked nearby. Top right: A driver is afraid to pass a large vehicle because its turn signal is on, and has been for blocks; reminder to drivers to shut off their signals after turning if they dont shut off automatically. Bottom left: Pest drivers, including drivers who move to the left before making a right-hand turn and drivers who move to the left when someone attempts to pass them. Bottom right: Clipping from one of Knechts earlier cartoons warning drivers who have slipped off the edge of the pavement not to try to get right back on it; a clipping from a newspaper story about a recent traffic accident caused by unsafe driving in which two people died.

A great many of the failures to stop--at stop-streets is because some stop signs are not set high enough to be seen over any parked car or truck. Stop. Not all blinker-light turn signals shut off automatically so drivers be sure its off after you make the turn. Hes been signaling to turn for blocks, and he doesnt--and I dont dare pass with that signal on. ? Those, who to make a right turn-off, pull over to left at corner--then turn right. Stay straight, signal, as dotted car, and turn. ? Eek. ? Pest drivers...who really do not know how to drive. A B. His brother-driver--who when you honk, as a signal youre passing, he pulls to the left A--to center line or over it when he should, if he moves at all--he should veer B to his right. One of the least publicized but most frequent. When you slip or edge off a two-lane pavement--with one or two wheels on shoulder--do not try to get right back on. 2 killed last week. Only Witnesses Tell How Fatal Mishap Occurred. [in margins: One reason many do not stop. Courier 3 columns 9/17-48]
