     you can really trust an automobile these days. Mechanically. they are a pretty 
     
     safe proposition. But you can't always trust the man . or woman at the wheel. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Most of the traffic accidents this vacation season- by a tremendous margin - 
     
     will be dueto HUMAN FAILURE . . . not to anything going wrong with the car 
     
     itself. Drivers will fall asleep. They will pass on hills and curves. They will 
     
     take their eyes off the road for iust a little instant. They will do other foolish 
     
     things. forgetting that the impact of a collision at 60 miles per hour is precise- 
     
     ly the same as driving a car off the roof of a fourteen story building. 
     
    
   
   
    
     We feel it will be helpful and in the public interest as the summer driving 
     
     season begins to list a few time tested reminders. which. if followed. may save 
     
     a good many lives this year - perhaps your own. 
     
    
   
   
    
     I. Don't drive when tired or sleepy. Pull off the road and take a nap. 
     
    
   
   
    
     2. Reduce speed after dark. Reduce speed drastically in fog. storm or wet 
     
     weather. 
     
    
   
   
    
     3. Turn on lights AT SUNSET. Dusk is a dangerous time to drive without 
     
     lights. Dim your lights when approaching oncoming traffic. Keep all 
     
     lamps. windshield and rear window clean. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Chock tlrepnssure frequently on long drives. especially in hot weather. 
     
     5. NEVER TAKE A CHANCE. 
     
    
   
   
    
     6. Don't drive after drinking. You may not feel those "two beers" but 
     
     your reaction time is dangerously slowed. 
     
    
   
   
    
     7. Always take it for granted that the driver in the "other car" is stark 
     
     raving crazy-and drive accordingly. - 
     
    
   
   
    
     0. Caution your toon-agers to drive carefully. 
     
    
   
   
    
     9. Urge  hldi schools to teach a "safe driving" course. if they are not 
     
     , doing so. . . '
