DANGEROUS ACCELERATION
Motorists who cause danger on crowded highways by excessively fast driving and persistent passing of lines of moving traffic at high speed are very properly brought to book by the police; but the R.A.C.A. suggests that more well-deserved severity might he shown towards certain types of motor cycle riders. Without making any (implica)tion against motor eyclists as a body, the club protests against the tactics of riders of powerful machines who, irrespective of traffic conditions, insist on driving fast and in overtaking every other vehicle on'the road by ; means of dangerous riding and cornering, which', although suitable for a race traek, should not be tolerated on busy highways. The activities of this class of motor cyclist are particularly ■noticeable and tr-ying to other road users during holidays, when the c'oun- , try roads carry a big volume of motor traffic, and it is hoped that the auth'orities will take every opportunity to check such bad practiees.
