LEARN... and LIVE!
When your boy or girl is old enough to take t£ic wheel of the family car, their chances of
becoming a~safc driver are three times better today than a few years ago—if they have
had the opportunity of becoming a high school-trained driver. N
Last year nearly 700,(|00 students—more than one out of every three scligibles—were
enrolled in driver training courses given by 8,000 high - chools. There is hope that in the not
too distant future every boy and girl will rcccive driver education before taking the wheel.
How is it working? In one* state, a check of 800 trained and 800 untrained driver*
after a year's experience revealed that ofcly 100 of the trained ones had run afoul of the
law in accidents, violations and warnings!1 Of the 800 untrained, 769 had some kind of black
mark against them. Other state reports confirm this progress through driver education.
Here lies one of the most encouraging answers toward reducing the tragic death and
injury toll on our highways, if your community's schools give driver training courses be
lure your children enroll before they attempt to drive. If not, find out why your schools do
not particiDatc in this vitally needed life-saving training. The cost of driver education to
the community is smalt—the reward great.
Give your children the chance to—Learn and LIVE!
Drive As Though Your Life l)epon<is On It •• IT DOES!
