A HINT ABOUT REVERSING
So long as ho can take plenty of “sea room,'’ the novice generally manages somehow to manoeuvre his car backwards; but when lie is flustered or is closely hemmed in he is sometimes an a loss as to which way to move the steering-wheel to turn in the desired direction. In such a predicament he should bear in mind that the front edge' of the steering-wheel must be moved toward the direction the back of the car should proceed. It should, however, also be borne in mind, that when the back of the car moves toward the right the front of it moves toward the left, and vice-versa; crumpled front wings have often occurred as a result of forgetfulness on this point.
