RULES OF THE ROAD.

163. All vehicles, motor, horse-drawn or otherwise, when
being 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 the operator
signals the vehicle intended to be passed by the use of his horn
or other signalling device, 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 high-
ways, and close to the right-hand side of the road when turn-
ing to the right, and pass to the right of the center of such
intersection when turning to the left. Slow moving vehicles,
including motor trucks, shall at all times keep as close to the
right-hand side of the highway as practicable, regard being
had to the width and construction of such highways.

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.
