The tandem rate among young folk is high. Naturally, when your child gets his driving license you exhort him to be careful n.ecause you rear for his safety: In the majority of cases this is the wrong approach. He is both too inexperienced and too conthient to believe anything can happen to him. Youth is thoughtless, youth is reckless; but it is not callous. Impress upon him the tragedy his carelessness can bring to an innocent party. The picture of I girl on the threshold of maturity, her beauty mutilated forever beyond the skill of the ablest plastic surgeon; the stunned nanny in the eyes or a young husband as he looks on the battered bodies of his wife and child; these are not horrors of a moment to be viewed and then, excluded from the mind. Vividly throughout the years therwiill recur to haunt the sleepless night. A chance word at lunch will recoil them in all their pristine horror. A committed act stands) irrevocable through all time. There is no cry more pitiful, nor Otter, more futile than, "if only I hndn'tl" f Your car may be equipped with mechanical signals. Use them. It it " not so equipped, signal unanimity and don't be lull-m about it. Make your signal distinct and incisive. This is important. bew drivers are clairvoyant. Remember it is the accident that couldn't happen that always does. For proof refer to paragraph one. Make on unalterable habit of signalling whenever your driving calls tor one. You have been travelling a lonely stretch of road. You haven’t seen a car tor twenty miles. Suddenly you stop to show the lid: a loan and the car that wasn't there piles into you. An out- 'stretched arm would have prevented this. The automatically con- ditioned rettex should have been: the thought to stop; the silnal; the glance in the mirror; the foot on the break. When your foot touches the accelerator you become I potential killer, The Keener your awareneSS of this (not, the greater your chance of remaining merely potential. To reduce the number ot incidents to an acceptable minimum you must be constantly alert. You must accurately measure your abilities, remembering that with each passing year your reBeares become slower; and you must know the rules of the road and make it a point of honour to abide by them. v , A DONT GAMBLE wrru one: now uvns (Ontario Department of WV.” Bulletin; In 1051 there were M0 deaths on‘the road. at Ontario; ”1 “than persons were unwed.
