"The other day I was driving from the gravel pit with a very heavy load.

The road was wide and level on either side.

A man came toward me on horseback.

Now the law of the road is to give half to a vehicle similar to the one you are driving, but to keep all of it when you are heavily loaded, if you are passing people afoot or horseback.

The man took half the road, and kept it until the nose of his horse touched one of the team I was driving.
