ON SAFE DRIVING Ninety per cent of all accidents would never happen if motorists would remember and obey this one rule: "BE AS COURTEOUS WHEN BEHIND THE WHEEL AS YOU ARE ON FOOT" You never hesitate to give right of way to another pedestrianto apologize if you accidentally bump into himyou don't rush to beat him to the next intersection and you don't rudely holler at him to get over to his own side. Try this when driving. Then if you do become involved in an accident the fault won't be yours. WATCH YOUR BRAKES In the first place treat your brakes rightthey'll last longer and cost less. Don't; drive up to an intersection or "stop" street at 30 miles an hour then slam your brakes on hard. When approaching a known stop, coast oip to it with clutch fully engaged. The compression of the motor acts as a brake, and doesn't wear out your brake lining. It's easy to become accustomed to brakes that are out of adjustmentthat don't "take hold", or pull to one. side. Don't fall into this error. Have your brakes adjusted the minute you sense they need it. It's not costly and may save a life and a life-time of remorse. Remember it takes the average driver almost 50 feet to bring his car to a standstill travelling 20 miles per hour. At higher speeds the stopping distance is tremendously increased. PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY Before attempting to pass another car make absolutely sure that there isn't another car approaching from the opposite direction too close for safety. If you are both travelling at 50 miles per hour the distance is being covered at the startling/ speed of 100 miles per hour. If the car you are attempting to pass is travelling at 40 miles per hour yours will have to travel at least 300 feet to pass it. So curb your impatience until you have a clear road ahead. HILLS, CURVES, CORNERS Every driver knows that he should not pass another car on hills, curves, or corners, yet every hill, curve and corner on our highways is figuratively littered with wrecked cars and mangled bodies. Take the few extra seconds required to follow the car ahead. It may mean all the difference between life and death. There is another grave accident hazard involved in negotiating curves and corners which few drivers stop to consider. Centrifugal force is doing its utmost to force your car off the road. The pull exerted is tremendousand the greater the speed the stronger the pull. The only thing that holds the car to the road is the friction of your tires. If the "pull" becomes greater than the friction nothing can stop you. Therefore slow downaway downat curves and corners. NIGHT DRIVING It's a safe rule to cut your daylight driving speed in half for night driving. Unless your headlights are unusually effective you are liable to be so close to a pedestrian or cyclist before they come within your range of vision that you cannot stop in time. Never drive close behind another vehicle at night. The driver may make a left or right turn or stop before you can see his signal. If a tail light that you haven't noticed before shows on the road ahead, approach with extreme caution. At night it is difficult to tell whether the light is moving or stationary. It may be a car or truck parked on the roadway. Dim your lights when meeting other cars. Glaring headlights have been responsible for numerous accidents. SIGNAL CHANGE OF DIRECTION Never make a left or right turn without clearly signalling your intention. The same applies when coming to a full stop. Never pull out from the curb 2
