Make This A "Traffic Safe" Holiday Season
Did you ever get steaming
mad when some other driver
swerved from his lane without-
warning and cut you off?
When something upsets you
in the office or shop, do you
worry about it while you're
driving home?
If you have an argument with
your wife at breakfast, do you
slam out of the house, jump in-
to your car and drive off to
work tense and angry?
In every one of these cases,
you multiply your chances of
being killed and become danger-
ous to other drivers on the
road. Although you ordinarily
may be a careful and cautious
driver, emotional upset can
make you a highway menace.
Mjoods and attitudes do kill
thousands of drivers each year,
injure many thousands of oth-
ers and cost millions in proper-
ty damage.
You just can't concentrate on
driving when you're worried,
nervous, tense or impatient. In
such a state, you're bound to I That extra thought could save

tion.
/
Furthermore, you won't see
things in their proper perspec-
tive. Should an accident situa-
tion begin to develop—a pedes-
trian dart in front of you, the
car ahead stop suddenly, an
oncoming car swerve into your
lane—it would take an extra
split second to pull your mind
back to the driving emergen-
cy. That extra split second
could be deadly.
Perhaps you think it can't
happen to you. Don't kid your-
self!
Good driving—and any other
kind is dangerous business—re-
quires complete concentration
on the task at hand. You can't
fully control the situation if
you are only half aware of
what you are doing.
Check yourself every time you
get behind the steering wheel.
If you're worried, upset or an-
gry, think twice before driving.
Face your worry or anger for
what it is. Remind yourself
that it must be put out of your
mind while you are driving. If
it looms too large to be put
aside easily, take a few minutes
to cool your mind and compose
your thoughts before you turn
the key.
