“BUMP OF LOCALITY.”

DIRECTING THE MOTORIST. , A correspondent in the country writes to ’‘Roadster” as follows: — Last week a motorist, who had been put to a deal of inconvenience through having been given wrong road directions, came to me asking to be redirected. Travelling in a strange district he had • asked his way, but the reply to his enquiry was carelessly given. He was told to take a first turning 'to the left after crossing a certain bridge. This he did, but the turning led him up a by-road which shortly after leaving the main road crossed a river at a bad ford. In this the motorist was stuck for an hour of the late afternoon of a winter’s day. Still he though he, was on the right road and went about a mile farther on, at which point he met me and asked if he had taken the right road for his destination. To say, the least he was annoyed when I told him that he was on the wrong road. He then asked if >■ it-was necessary that he should cross'the bad ford again, and I had to tell him the hard fact that he was on a blind road and must recross the river at the ford in which he had been stuck for an hour. He retraced his way, and, no doubt, ruminated upon the ■ carelessness of people. It is greatly to be desired that people when giving strangers directions would be particular. All that was needed in this case -was to say ‘‘Keep to the main road and about half a mile after crossing the bridge bear to the -left.” “Keep to the main road” would have saved this motorist all his inconvenience. Motorists—especially town mqtorists—should, when interpreting road directions, use their common sense. And of still greater value when trying to unravel a strange road is a good “bump of locality.”
