it particularly familiar with the Salt
Lake City speedster-mayor’s records j
because all of them have been estab-
lished on Firestone Tiree.
“Mayor Jenkins’ fundamentals of
safe driving are simple and obvious,”
declares Maxwell, "but we frequent-
ly neglect to observe them when we
get behind the wheel of a car. Jenk-1
ins feels sure that effective educa-!
tional work would preclude a large
percentage of the terrific traffic toll
each year.
“Just as in any other mechanical
operation, technique and skill are re-
quired to drive an automobile correct-
ly, he said. "A driver should sit up-
right, in a comfortable position with
both hands on the wheel. Resting the
left elbow on the window frame is not
only an unnatural position but also an
unsafe one. It renders the left arm
useless in case of an emergency re-
quiring quick handling of the steering
wheel.
"Belonging to the category of un-
safe drivers is the person who guides
his ear by instinct rather than by I
keen observation of the road ahead.
Literally hundreds of so-called acci-
dents would be avoided each year if
dfjflpr* would be more alert to the j
traffic conditions ahead. The faster
a car is going the greater the neces-1
sity for *reading’ the road farther
ahead. |
“One of the fundamental causes
of accidents is the failure of drivers. |
to recognize changes in driving condi- *
tions. Visibility is generally al its
worst just at dusk and in the early
evening. Drivers often continue at
daylight speeds without giving due
consideration to the fact that they
should slow down to night driving
speed Different types of road sur-
faced should be recognized.
