When you see an aged or drunken man on the road. When passing cars, sheep, dogs, etc., on the road. Stop: When an accident of any kind happens, whether your fault or not. Render dlassistance in your power, and, as a safeguard against future proceedings, nes of a few witnesses of the affair. y any likelihood of a horse making a fool of himself. If neces ay, do this even before the driver of the animal holds up a warning hand or wea begins to swear at you. Always remember: That other road users may do the wrong thing at the unexpected moment, ie,a nervous driver pull the wrong rein or a pedestrian hesitate and try sseral courses before finally choosing the worst one of them all.
