OVERBURDENED LIGHT CARS.
Our observations over past holidays prompt a word of warning to owners of light cars. In the first place we noticed a decided tendency toward overloading. Besides one or more extra passengers a quantity of luggage was frequently carried. An even more marked tendency was that of driving all out all the time, regardless of road conditions. Even the smallest types of cars were driven to the last ounce over the worst stretches, with every part of the machines submitted to the severest possible strain and vibration. It stands to reason that if these small vehicles are overloaded and overdriven, regardless of everything, trouble is bound to arise rather sooner than later. The limitations of the light car should be recognised and kept in mind. As its description implies, it is “ light.” This applies to its construction throughout. If used rationally it may be relied upon to give the maximum of service and satisfaction, but not otherwise.—Marlborough Express.
