without making sure that the driver of a car approaching from the rear is aware of your intention. Before making left hand turns get well out towards the middle of the road or street. Before making a right hand turn get over close to the curb. Attention to these details will prevent many accidents and a lot of profanity. ICY ROADS Winter driving brings its own particular hazards. Chief of these is slippery roadways. Every driver has a wholesome dread of going into a skid. No matter how careful you are it cannot always be avoided, but always bear in mind that the lower the speed the less likely it is to happen, and the less serious the damage is likely to be. Never apply your brakes suddenly when the road is icy. If you do go into a skid turn your front wheels in the same direction that your car is skidding this will tend to bring you out of the skid. TIRES Don't economize on tires. Get the best and replace them before the tread wears smooth. In this way you eliminate almost entirely the risk of blowouts, and greatly reduce the skid hazard. Keep your tires properly inflated. It adds thousands of miles to their life, and may add years to yours.
