HEADLIGHT DAZZLE

Possibility Of Regulations

Headlight

The Minister of Transport. It Is understond, is considering the sue of regulations on the sub- ject of headlights. Their neces- sity has been discussed before, but the general opinion was that the need for action was growing less, while the framing of Batis- factory restrictions presented many difficulties. Under these circumstances it is a little hard to understand why action should be necessary now. dazzle is often given as an excuse after an accident, but it is sel dom, an acceptable one. Many who do complain do so because they are more easily, dazzled. than the average driver. It is quite certain that some drivers are more sensitive than others. but it is not usual to legislate, for the exception, and these drivers should take their own precant tions as regards the use of anti- dazzle screens or visors,

There are now few cars unfitted with some form of anti-dazzle device, and it would be a mis- take to limit ingenuity by pro hibiting all but one, or perhaps WO. -The dip and switch arrangement is the most used and is extremely satisfactory, but most driver's would agree that merely to switch off the off-side light is not enough; nor is the switching off of the near side light, with "the "off-side beam trained to the left. Various dim- ming systems are quite satisfac tory and would have to be re- cognised, so that any regulations would seem obliged to take note of at least three anti-dazzle sys- tems, lay down some standard of efficiency, and enforce proper use The first is possible, the second- dimcult, and the third almost Impossible. The probable result would be yet more regulations. well-intentioned... desirable tir theory, but impracticable and annoying.

Insurance Developments

The Lasurance companies have been a little surprised at the re- ception accorded their propos- ed 20 per cent. increase in Glasgow and other areas. In the frst place, the worst possible moment was chosen for the an- nouncement during the Scottish Show-and there was resentiment among both motorists and motor traders. This resentment has not been lessened by the fact that the increased premium takes effect on the same day as the horse-power tax reduction.

This means an outlay of £15,000 to £80,000 & year. How far the proposed fee of 7s 60, will meet this, and also the various office and ad-distance of their homes in we ministrative expenses, iemains to be seen, but even if there is no serious call on the Road' Fund it must be remembered that these salaries will be found by the motoring community.

If these tests do result in the elimination of unsafe drivers no- body will object to the price paid, but there is no certainty that they will do so. It is a pity that provision cannot be made for ex- perimenting in such directions without "saddling the community with a costly and irksome system In the event of failure. Even the maligned motorist is willing to go a long way in co-operating with authority to give a fair trial to anything which promises a possi- bility of results Unfortunately: the result so far is an ever-grow- ing burden of regulations and restrictions irrespective of success or fallure. Meanwhile it will be Interesting to know who is to examine the examiners.

Skid Correction

In a recently published, booklet of driving hints the advice in the event of a skid is that the driver should look and paint his front wheels in the direction he wishes to go. This is not the usual ad- vice, which is to steer into the akid, but the author's reason is that the tendency to over-correct a skid may make matters worse. Attention was drawn to this fact. in this column long, ago, and it was even suggested that the lady who took her hands off the wheel when her car skidded may not have been so very wrong after all.

Viva

Many skids are made worse by over-correction, and over-correc- tion is invited by many modern steering systems leg to their lightness, low gearing and lack of direction. With a steering which tends to straighten itself there is far less likelihood of over-correction, and it is possible to point the wheels more or less in the right direction. Modern cars, on the whole, are not

No real attempt has been made- to convince motorists that the increase was necessary, and there> are so many anomalies in motor Insurance that there is consider- able scepticism as to its basis. A lack of tact is also, apparent in imposing so considerable an in- crease on a large section without any attempt to provide some: concession.

An all-round increase, together with a bonus which continued to increase up to 50 per cent... and a greater inducement to: motorists to assume responsibility for the Arst £5.or £10 of any claim would have been well re ceived, and would have provided more revenue while meeting the demands of the good risk

An example of the kind of de- velopment which may be expect- ed is the scheme of a Glasgow Brm of brokers to cater for the careful driver. They are aware of the growing feeling among experienced and careful drivers that they are responsible for what profits the companies do make on motor insurance, and that they are already bearing too much of the burden of their more reckless brethren The scheme

is to form a "Careful Drivers of Glasgow Group,” confined to those who have driven for many years without serious accident. The scheme will be guaranteed by a well-known syndicate of underwriters, and the group will be treated as a separate unit, obtaining rates commensurate with the quality of the risk. A no-claim bonus rising nually to a very high percentage of the premium. is also a feature. and no doubt much interest will be taken in the scheme when de talls are issued, probably the

Bear Overhang

An enthusiastic lover of this forest says that she spends hours tramping by herself through its denseness to learn the life and habits of the birds and beasts that dwell therein. She will climb the steep, wooded hillside. above the river and rest by the king of the forest, a giant oak. with thirty branches themselves. like great trunks.Even in winter she will spend much time en- grossed in the delightful study of nature, for, quoted she, "Nature gives to every time and season some beauty of its own."

A simple picnic in the Wyre Forest would be time well spent no matter what the season. After all, why should such sweet secin sion, such restful quietness, be for birds and beasts and fairyfolk alone?
