The accident, we are told, caused much discussion as to
whether women should be allowed to operate automobiles on the business streets
of Winston-Salem and the aldermen are said to be considering stricter
regulations. All this discussion took place after a small boy was run over by a
young woman.
The Record
believes that the average woman, who has a greater horror of causing injury
than the average man, is as competent to drive a car as the average man, but it
does believe that boys and girls under 16 years old have no business at the
wheel. It believes that all owners of automobiles should be careful, as many of
them are, and those who are not careful should be placed on a level with the habitual
pedestrian—let them walk.
