Twenty-five motor vehicle collisions were investigated in which 17 persons were injur- ed. As a result of these collisions, seven:personis have been charged with driving cffences under the Highway Traf fic Act and one person has been charged with a driving offence under the Criminal Code. The Newcastle officers also completed 79 investigations of a general nature. Some of these occurrences are as follows: One investigation involved the offence "Break & Enter", one investigation in- volved the offence of "Break, Enter & Theft" and 6 investi- gations involved the offence of "Theft", one being the theft of cattle. There were:3 investiga- tions involving the offence of "Assault", one investigation involving the offence of 'Wil- ful Damage" and one invol- ving the offence of "Forgery". There were 4 driving com- plaints and one complaint concerning prowlers. One investigation involved the reported loss of property. Two stolen autos have been recovered during the past week. Five charges have been laid relating to Criminal Code offences and seven relating to Liquor Control Act offences. Driving Tip:,'There 's more to braking than meets the eye". Once you've spotted a dangerous traffic situation, it takes time between making up your mind to brake and getting your foot on the brake pedal. That's called "Reaction Time" and for the average driver that means it takes three-q uarters of an second to begin braking.At 20 m.p.h. it meanis you will travel 22 feet before you begin braking; at 60 m.p.h. you will travel 66 feet before your food bits the brake. Slower reaction time or delayed recognition of danger will further decrease your margin of safety. "Braking Distance" is how far you go once the brakes are applied. This varies with speed and type of vehicle, as well as with road conditions, weather, bralçes, tires, and 50 on. For a passenger car on level, dry pavement, braking distance at 20 m.p.h. averages 25 feet, while at 60 m.p.h. it is 300 feet. This means that the car's total stopping distance at 20 m.p.h. is 47 feet, and at 60 Port Robinson, were with Mr. Charlie Raby during the weekend to attend the fumerai of Mrs. Raby on Monday.
