BITS AND PIECES It's a natural tendency of some drivers to want to veer to the left on curves. This puts them dangerously near or over the centre line on a two - way, two lane road. Other drivers, discovering th- at they've tried to take a curve too fast, may try to swing wide to compensate. They may end up partially or completely in your lane. Be alert for those movements. Be prepared to steer to the right as far as possible to avoid a crash. According to a West Ger- man medical magazine rep- orting the results of life in- surance studies, the husband who kisses his wife every morning before he leaves for work will probably live five years longer, earn 20% to 30% more, lose up to 50% less time because of illness, and be involved in fewer automobile accidents than t- he husband who doesn't. Qn- oted by the Ontario Safety League. Faulty brakes are found on nearly one - third of the cars tested at inspection stat- ions. Too few drivers realize that keeping car brakes in condition means good econ- omy as well as safety, says the Ontario Safety League. When brakes are out of ad- justment, tires and brake lin- ings wear out faster. Have brakes checked regularly and promptly adjusted when ne- eded. Replace damaged or worn parts without delay. When it rains, SLOW DO- WN! Vehicles drop oil on the roads and in dry weather the oil accumulates. It is flushed off onlu by a long or heavy rain. In a heavy downpour it may take only about 30 mjnutes to flush off. A slow, gentle rain may take as long as two hours or mt>re to flush the accumulated oil. A summer rain can be just as hazardous as winter ice. HURE A STUDENT IT'S GOOD BUSINESS LBMAke f&OpICress CALL YOUR MANPOWER OFFICE NOW!
