Neyhart, America‘s top authority on drivâ€" ing and driving hazards. He is in ‘Toronto this week to conduct the second Canadian Motor Vehicle Fleet Supervisors‘ training course â€"April 22 to 26â€"in the Mining Buillding of the University of Toâ€" schools‘ for the modern motorist. In North America the automobile is used by more people and is inâ€" vwolved in more accidents than all other modes of transportation comâ€" *The Modern Driver should reâ€" member that twoâ€"thirds of all pedâ€" estrians fatalities occur at night when there is only oneâ€"third the dayâ€"time traffic," says the adminâ€" istrative head of the Institute of Public Safety, Pennsylvania State College, and staff consultant for the American Automobile Associaâ€" tion on road training. "Another fact is that twoâ€"thirds of all pedesâ€" trians killed are more than 40 years of age." ‘The summer is the worst beâ€" cause traffic then is at its peak, declares Prof. Neyhart. "We will soon be facing our biggest headâ€" uche: the careless or unskillied driver. The pilot of a plane is thoroughly trained for his jb; so are the locomotive engineer and the ship‘s captain. In the same "We must approach the problem in the right way. We should find out if wouldâ€"be drivers are qualiâ€" fied to operate cars, not allow them to get into trouble and then say they shouldn‘t be allowed to drive. "What we should do is train those wouldâ€"be drivers when they are of legal age to drive, that is, in our high schools. Those who cperate taxi, bus or trucking fleets find their reservoir of drivers in high schools, and if youths are ‘MMMUMUN-I ing there, all the flieet operator has to do is train them in the things directly relating to their job. ‘ "Many people think that if a man has driven a truck for 10 years he must be twice as good as one who has driven for only five. Yet it is a proven fact that a boy who has driven for only one or two | years can be a far better driver TELEPHONE 88 had tJusane asylum.

For the fiveâ€"day Fleet Superâ€" visora‘ training course in Toronto next week, tests have been devised to record the mental, physical and emotional characteristics of drivers. On the basis of these tests, Prof. Neyhart states, it is possible to determine whether or not a man will make a good driver and to reâ€" veal the weak spots which may be Exercises have been prepared to measure a driver‘s ability to handle a car.expertly and to imp‘rove his driving skill. Each exercise is designed to bring out some signiâ€" ficant driving practice. In addition to obtaining a measure of the deâ€" gree of experience, these exercises also create an awnreness on the part of those tested that skilful handling of a car is not a "cinch", but requires sound physical charâ€" acteristics, _ driving . knowledge, alertness, consideration for others and highly developed skill. \Cupid Is Given | _ A Better Break ‘The course is aimed at the preâ€" vention of accidents, reduction of‘ operational costs, conservation of equipment, and improvement of management, driver and customer relations on the part of firms opâ€" erating motor vehicle fieets.
