LOS ANGELES, Feb. of tests made here by pile Club of Southern California has demonstrated that the two fold pro- verbs, “More haste, less speed,” and Haste makes waste,” might well be ven serious consideratioh by the modern motorist. ‘ In making the tests couting cars were operated on three different routes in the city of Los Angeles Fach route was first traversed the highest speed possible and yet escaped arrest, and advantage was taken of every opportunity to make time. The same driver went “over the same route a second time, ob- serving all traffic laws and conform ing to the rules of safe driving. ‘A summary of these trips shows that the driver who hurried saved only a total of ten minutes out of “wo hours driving, or five minutes to the hour, ho total distance of the three routes across the city was 31.6 miles, or an avergge of 10.5 miles to the trip. One trip, showed a saving of five minutes, another three_minutes and the other two minutes. Club official point out that tn driv. ing to save a possible five minutes over a ten-mile trip, the small amount of time saved will not com- pensate the average driver for the extra gasoline used, the increased wear on brake linings, the risk of reat with fine or jail sentence and the increased liabillty of collision.
