BOTH LIFE AND DEATH BEGIN AT FORTY
In this modern ;i£<\ it hog frequently Ikmmi said that
‘‘life begins at forty,” when referring; to a person’s age
hut when shaking of the s^ieed of a ear, “Death begins at
forty.” Millions of words have bet mi spoken and written
in the jxist year about the causes of Ameri<mi ’s tragic auto-
mt*biie accident problem, but when the thing is boiled
down, it amounts to this- there is too much speed and Lm>
little courtesy. ' ~
There is a safe speed for any set of driving corwli-
titMis, but there is always a speed limit beyond which one
cannot venture with any assuranee tlmt lit* will stay alive.
When a ear turns over at 2b miles |*r hour, it will roll over
omv, and your body could take this; when a ear turns over
at .TO males j>or hour, it will roll over four times and you
would bo lucky to come out of this alive, but when your
ear tmtis over at 7b miles |mt hour, it will turn over nine
times and tear thh occupants and ear to pieces.
The peat few years has seen traffic accidents rise
to an unbelievable high peak and the only thing that will
stop it is sensible driving.
