EMERSON C. HARRINGTON, GOVERNOR. 193

No constable, sheriff, deputy sheriff, police officer or other
peace officer shall be entitled to receive any fee for testifying
as a witness in any case involving a violation of the Motor
Vehicle Laws.

PART VI
RULES OF THE ROAD

163. All vehicles, motor, horse-drawn or otherwise, when be-

ing driven upon the highways of this State, upon meeting others
shall turn to the right of the center of the highway so as to
pass without interference, and in rounding curves shall keep
as far to the right of the road as reasonably possible; and any
vehicle overtaking another going in the same direction shall
pass to the left of the vehicle so overtaken, provided the way
ahead is clear of approaching traffic, and that no vehicle shall
pass another from the rear at the top or near the top of a hill or
on a curve where the view ahead is in anywise obstructed or
while the vehicle ahead is crossing an intersecting highway;
any vehicle so overtaken shall promptly, upon signal, turn as
far as reasonably possible to the right in order to allow free
passage on the left. At the intersection of public highways all
vehicles shall keep to the right of the center of such highways,
and close to the right-hand side of the road when turning to the
right, and pass to the right of the center of such intersection
when turning to the left. Slow moving vehicles shall at all
times keep as close to the right-hand side of the highway as
practicable.

All vehicles about to turn from the road upon which they
are traveling into any intersecting road shall gradually reduce
their speed to a point not exceeding twelve miles an hour for a
distance of not less than twenty-five feet before beginning to
make such turn, and where the view of the intersecting road is
obstructed, preserve such reduced rates of speed until the turn
has been completed.
