The 1940 traffic death toll, highest since 193'f, represented an approximate 4 per cent increase over the 943 killed in 1939. However, the National Safety Council's provisional report for 1940 reveals an increase oi around 6 per cent in traffic accidents nationally. The 980 traffic fatalities in the state last year included 337 pedestrians. 270 persons killed in motor vehicle collisions, 161 killed in cars that ran off the roadway, 68 killed in cars that overturned on the roadway, 54 killed in collisions with fixed objects 35 killed in railroad crossing crashes, 20 bicyclists, and 6 killed in collisions between motoi vehicles and animal-drawn vehicles. The 1940 accident report revealed that the 980 persons killed included 789 males and 191 females. According: to last year's figures, a driver stands a better chance than a passenger, and both stand a better chance than a pedestrian. There were 28S drivers killed, 327 passengers and 340 pedestrians. Now for some facts about the 15,184 drivers involved in these accidents. A total of 13,633 ol them were males, and only 1,302 were females. Nearly 5,000 ol them were under 25 years ol age. In all types of accidents 7,456 drivers resided in urban areas and 7,099 in rural areas, but in fatal accidents the number of rural drivers increased sharply, 659 rural drivers being involved in fatal accidents while only 476 urban drivers were involved in these accidents. The report showed further, that 11,315 of the 15,184 drivers involved in accidents last year lived within 25 miles of the accident location, another 2,002 resided elsewhere in the state, and 1,181 were non-residents. In the matter of driving experience, only 175 of the 15,184 drivers had had less than one year's experience in driving, and Mrs. Gus Morse, Jr., is visiting relatives in Beaufort. Chas. Newton spent the week end here with his family. THE STATE PORT ! ??? approximately 10,000 had more than five year's experience. More ' than 5.000 of them had been diiving over ten years. Of the SCO fatal accidents in which the 980 persons were killed, 194 were charged to exceeding | the state speed limit, 123 to driving on the wrong side of the road. 41 to disregard of warning signs, signals or other traffic control devices, 45 to usurpation of right-of-way, 49 to hit-andrun drivers, 45 to skidding vehicles, 29 to improper turning, and ' 33 to improper passing. I Of the 1,082 drivers involved in j the 866 fatal accidents, 523 were < held in violation. Out of the 1,082 < vehicles involved, 783 were pas- i senger cars, 160 were trucks and trailers, 13 were taxicabs, 10 were : buses, only 5 were oil transports ] and only three were school bus- l ses. 1,021 vehicles had no appar-11 ent mechanical defects. Five hundred and ninety-three : of the 866 accidents occurred in ] open country, 176 occurred in ' urban residential districts, 41 oc- : curred in shopping and business \ districts, and 8 occurred in school i and playground districts. I Out of the 866 fatal accidents, 1 644 were on straight roads, 668 on hard-surfaced roads, 706 on i dry roads, 803 on roads with no s apparent defects. Saturday and Sunday ran a 1 close race as most dangerous day , I of the week, Saturday accounting j for 195 fatal accidents and Sun-1' days for 194. The most danger- j ous hour was from 7:00 p. mJ to 8:00 p. m. A majority of the accidents happened in daylight and in clear weather. Out of the 1,082 drivers involv| cd in accidents in the state last year 11 i had been drinking and 88 were obviously drunk. Fifty-: one of the 337 pedestrians killed had been drinking, and 32 were I drunk. ' The gist of the 1940 accident statistics, according to Safety Director Ronald Hocutt, is that "the typical accident last year happened to an apparently nomal, sober driver, who was driving a car with no apparent me- ! chanical defects, on a straight, dry, level, hardsurfaced highway, in clear weather and in broad daylight." Hocutt said last year's traffic accident experience in this state j pointed emphatically the need for education of drivers. | PEANCT PROJECT Of the 20 boys enrolled in the Jamesville 4-H Club. 15 will carry peanuts as their project for 1941, reports John I.
