MAIN ROADS AND THE RIGHT OF WAY

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin,—In "Motoring Notes," Spectator, August 15th, " E.T.B." gives this advice : " When approaching a main road, do so with the utmost caution, remembering that the traffic on the main road has the priority." It is frequently supposed that such a priority exists, but in law it does not. In litigation subsequent to a cross-road collision, the main road motorist has been known to prejudice his case very seriously by alluding to this supposed main road right of way.—I am, Sir, &c., W. D. ANDERSON.
