SILENT MOTORING IS SAFER MOTORING
I every motorist forgot he had a hooter under his car bonnet and sounded it only as a last resort to prevent accidents, our roads would be far safer and our cities and towns more pleasant to live in, according to the N.R.M.A. The Association illustrates its opinion with an extract from a letter of a member who, reminded of history by the Italian elections, says: “I was in Rome in 1934 when Mussolini sent forth his edict banning use of motor horns, which resulted in a quieter city as well as an immediate and healthy drop in accidents. » “Before that I was always having accidents. I gradually emerged from the morass and have not had an accident for 10 years of business motoring. I cannot remember when I last blew the horn, and I am confident the key to safe motoring is silent motoring. “To blast your way through cities and crossroads is to proclaim a poor sport and a driver.”
