FORM TY. 267
o There are occasions, it would seem, when Scout Cars feeling the call of Spring in their blood stream (or would it be oiling system) get a bit fractious. When the driver is composing the resultant Accident Report he is warned to watch his step very carefully or he may provide some unconscious humour quite out of keeping with the serious subject he is called on to explain. The following are extracts from reports of those who did not have the benefit of this solemn warning. A telegraph post hit my car damaging it in two places." "The car was driven by a careful and efficient driver, who backed it into a ditch." "I misjudged a lady crossing the street." A pedestrian hit mo and went underneath my car." "At the time I was proceeding to see the O.C. in a thick fog." "I heard a horn blow and was struck in the back. A lady was evidently trying to pass me." ’ I ran into a bank and sustained injuries to my passenger."
''l swerved to avoid a motor-cycle and hit it, and to avoid further damage ran into a post and hit a wall.”
"She suddenly saw me, lost her head, and we met."
"The witness gave his occupation as a gentleman, but I would now be more correct in calling him a Sergeant-Major.” C.O.L.
