IN PASSING.
1 ADVICE TO OWNERS. Some advice to women on the choice of a car is given by the Hon. Mrs Vic tor Bruce, perhaps the best-known mdy motorist in Britain and on the Continent. Mrs Bruce says: f “When I see small girls driving big [ cars and obtaining inadequate visil il- • ity through the spokes of the steering | wheel I cannot help wondering what ! t.heij- menfolk can have been about to J let them drive so uncomfortably, and I consequently so dangerously. For I ■ believe that in comfort at the wheel
hes safety. If it is a strain to reach the pedals, or if one. has to hold nuesaif unnaturally upright to see over the top of the steering wheel, proper attention cannot be given to the road, quite apart from the fact, that only imperfect mechanical control over the . car is thus secured, i Suppose the. cx- | tr °me instances which one so often . secs occur when the girl is driving a car that is not adjusted for her n-t: j and, attractive as the prospect, may he taking the wheel of a strange car, it does not seem quite fair to the public in the present congested state o* the roads. ”
