so signalled offer any objections, the policemen
on that beat will take the offenders to the nearest automobile garage

7.--One long and one short toot means that everybody in the neighborhood
not in a Bubble must start promptly for the woods. Failure to observe
this rule will justify any chauffeur in chasing the offender seventy-six
