Parents: Teach Your Sons,
Daughters To Drive Safely
"parents, would you knowingly
place ? keg of dynamite in the
hands of your teen-age sons and
daughters?"
The question was put to the par
ents of North Carolina this week
by Joe W. Garrett, assistant motor
vehicles commissioner.
"There isn't a parent In the state
Who wouldn't indignantly answer
'No!' to this question,'' Garrett
Mid. "Yet many parents turn over
to their children the keys to the
family car, r. weapon as potentially
destructive as a quantity of high
explosive, without giving a thought
to the youngsters' fitness to
drive."
Garrett made it clear he is not
opposed to the driving of cars bv
teen-agers in general. What he de
plores is the practice of allowlnv
Irresponsible or poorly instructed
young people to drive as they
choose, jeopardizing their own lives
and the lives of others.
The youthful driver who is ma
ture in his judgment, well instruct
ed and driving a mechanically safe
car is just as safe a driver as an
older person similarly equipped,
Garrett pointed out.
He emphasized that the respon
sibility for molding the child into
such a driver rests largely with
the parents.
"Safe driving education is com
pounded of one part instruction
and one part example," Garrett
Mid. "Parents should be conscious
that they are educating for safe
or unsafe driving every time they
take the wheel in their children's

presence."
Garrett warned parents to satis
fy themselves on the following
points before allowing a te'en-aged
boy or ?irl to drive alone:
1. The young person should be
mentally and emotionally mature
enough to handle a car.
2. He should have received com
petent driver training and fully
understand the traffic laws and
regulations of the locality.
3. The car he drives (either his
own or the family car) should be
in perfect mechanical condition.
