brakes and a suitable horn.

     Every auto must be equipped with a muffler

turn out to the right, and when overtaking vehicles
pass on the left, the car being passed shall turn 
out to the right.

     When overtaking a street car an auto must stop
at a safe distance behind in order to allow passengers
