Motoring Hazards Greater In January r Tarvia Jones Advances Several Precautions To Follow Everybody talks about the weather —and in January there’s generally plenty to talk about In his first message to Tar Heel motorists for 1953, H. D. Tarvia Jones, chief of the Motor Vehicle De partment’s Highway Safety Division called attention to January motoring nazards, generally based on weather conditions. “finow, sleet, fog, and freezing rain plague motorists and pedestrians alike at this time of year ” Jones said. Everyone afoot or on wheels must be alert. You may not be able to do any thing about the weather but only you can use caution and care to protect yourself from injury—perhaps death.” Jones said that in January, 1952, highway accidents took 85 live® and if the present percentage trend con tinues this month will see 88 deaths. There were 3,329 property damage accidents last January resulting in an economic loss to the taxpayers of 18,075,000. The safety expert estimated that poor visibility was responsible for one highway death out of eight fatal accidents. He also said the mileage death rate at night was about three times greater than the daytime rate. And shorter days and poor visibility are prevalent at this time of year, he pointed out. 'He appealed to Tar Heel motorists to “Please try the following rules for safer driving:” Get the Feel of the Road: Try your brakes occasionally while driving slowly and away from traffic. Find out just how slick the road is. If you are. a good driver, 99 times out of 100 you won’t skid. 'Slow Down: Always adjust your speed to road and weather conditions. Be able to stop and maneuver safely. You can’t stop on an icy dime. Keep Windshield Clear: Clean off your windshield of snow ice, mud and frost. Be sure headlights, wip ers and defrosters are in good work ing condition. You have to see dan ger in time to avoid it. Use Tire Chains: They cut stop ping distances in half and give four to seven time® more starting and climbing traction. But even with the help of chains slower than normal Jkjs are a must on snow and ice. JpKmp Your Brakes: Jamming on brakes can lock the wheels and throw you into a dangerous skid. A little skidding can carry you a long way.
