The Great American Gamble
The Travelers Insurance Company has issued a hook
let entitled ”Tin Great American Gamble" It consists of
an analysis of the automobile accident problem, along
with graphic illuetiiitiui.d of Liiv piivu we pay lor allow-
ing carelessness, incompetence and recklessness to run
riot on our highways.

rpeed was the main cause of death, closely followed hy
driving on the wrong side of road, careleaaneaa on part of
pedestrians, running off the roadway, passing on hills,
curves, etc.
Some of the most vivid illustrations in the booklet deal
with the potential destructive power of an automobile. A
car going .»• miles an hour, for example, is four times as
capable of inflicting damage one going twenty. At 60
i - j„_ i nine time as great. A car
he same capacity for dam-.
buiidi..^ 120 feet high
miles an hour damage beco
moving at this last speed
•ge as if it were driven oh a , . r. i —
To use another illustration, a car gc’ng 20 miles an Citj
hour occupie. 38 fee: of roadway in additiv.- »n its length ” •
A car going GO occupies 263 feet stopping distance.
The horror of the automobile accident problem con-,
tinues to grow. We have safer roads and cars but we
have so exaggerated the safety margins that we have ac-
tually made them more dangerous. Thr American high-
way is a shambles. Every reckless or incompetent driver
and every car which is in a dangerous condition, menaces
hundreds of lives.
