The Scottish Automobile • Club has had a number of inquiries with regard to touring in the north of Scotland, and, as a general impression has gone abroad that this is very difficult under existing conditions, the club has satisfied itself that there is no reason whatever for refraining from touring in the Highlands north and west of Inverness. Petrol is available at the hotels and repairers' shops and garages as hitherto, but petrol may not be carried on the car to a greater extent than one two-gallon tin. The name and address of the owner and the number of the car should be afforded the petrol dealers at all times on demand, and the car stopped and such information as is required afforded to any sentries or road patrols who may be met en route.
The Dornie and Strome ferries are running as -usual, but the motor ferry boat at Kylesku did not Tun before the 1st of June.
The Glasgow Corporation by-laws, which came into force on the 1st May, comprise the following important regulations : The person in charge of slow-going traffic shall keep on the left or near side of the street, and as near to the kerb of the foot pavement as is practicable, unless sufficient reason exists to the contrary. The driver of any vehicle who intends to turn out of c12 the line of traffic in which he is then driving shall, whenever practicable, give a signal by holding out his hand to warn other drivers or any driver who may be following him. Every driver of a vehicle shall, when meeting any other vehicle, keep to the left or near side, and shall, when being overtaken by another vehicle, draw in as near as possible to the kerb on his proper side of the street. Every driver, when passing any other vehicle proceeding in the same direction, shall keep to the right or off side of said vehicle, provided that, when passing a tramway car or other vehicle which runs on fixed rails, every such driver shall pass on the left or near side of said tramway car or other vehicle, excepting in eases where there is sufficient reason for deviation.
When a tramway car is standing at a tramway stopping-place, as such stopping-place is indicated by a notice on the side of the street, every driver of a vehicle who intends to pass on the left or near side of such car shall draw up immediately before arriving at such stopping-place until the roadway is clear of passengers entering or leaving such car. Every driver of a vehicle turning from one street into another street shall keep as near to the left-hand kerbs as is practicable.
