Hill tops and curves are blind spots on the highway. You can't see what is coming toward you . . . and there's almost always sure to be another car coming around the curve or over the hill. The one safe rule is to stay on your side of the road . . . the right side. Every time you take a chance that the road ahead may be clear, you jeopardize your own safety and the approaching motorist may be made an innocent victim of your carelessness . . . surely a heavy price to pay in conscience and cash. After all you can observe the "Hill and Curve rule" for a whole season without losing as much as sixty minutes' time all told ... Why not? ONTARIO DEPARTMENT of HIGHWAYS GEO. S.
