The motorist who drives with little regard for his own or others' safety could be suffering from an inferiority complex, ac- cording to the Canadian High- way Safety Council. A member of the council's executive com- mittee commented, "The motor- ist with an inherent feeling that he is inferior or that others con- sider him infeiror, becomes bold and reckless when he gets be- hind the wheel of a motor ve- hicle. The feel of the weight and power of the vehicle gives him a false sense of his own weight and power and he decides, in his weakness, that he's 'going to show everybody' that he is not as inferior as they think. Thus he becomes a real menace to other motorists and to pedes- trians." Such a driver could be im- mature, he added. "He really hasn't assumed adulthood. It's as though a child were in control of the car, with all the child's inexperienced sense of ability and authority." He advises driv- ers to avoid this type of motorist as soon as his' eccentric, perilous antics begin to show up bate LET GUARDIAN MAINTENANCE SERVICE GUARANTEE Insurance YOU SAFE, SURE STARTS THIS WINTER To Go Up Christmas time is near and now's the Automobile insurance rates | . will go up by an average of six time to get your car checked and per cent in the most part of Can- ada next year. The 1966 increase ; ts Peg Sly qu agg ie egg put into top shape for safer driving. sep hago lg Thiele ght Come to Ontario Motor Sales and of Toronto, past president of the All, Canada Insurance Federa- tion, predicted recently. Parts of Nova Scotia will likely see rates decreased, he said, but in some parts of Can- ada, increases will exceed the six per cent average by a con- siderable measure. Mr. Hum-| phrey told a service club in Halifax that insurance compan- jes have been paying out $50,- 000,000 to $75,000,0 a year more than they took in during the past two years. The automobile accident rate, which began to climb sharply in 1961, will be worse in 1966, he said. Today's cars are extreme- ly expensive to reapir. "If you, as a consumer, feel that you are paying too much for your automobile insurance you might pass the word along to manufaciurers," he added. Reasonably simple changes in auto design could probably re- duce the insurance costs by 10 perccnt, he suggested. Efficient bumpers, bolt-on fenders and easier - to - repair body panels would greatly assist in cutting repair costs. "Supplying replacement parts is a lucrative business for the auto manufacturer,' Mr. Hum- phrey said, "and I would hardly expect them to change their ways to the benefit of the insur- ance companies."
