’Ihe N. C. State Motor
Chib has estimated that
approximately 80 persons
will die In North Carolina
traffic accidents over the
Thanksgiving holiday
weekend.
Official observance of
the holiday will be over a
108-hour period that lasts
from 6 p. m. Wed., Nov. 24,
until midnight Sunday,
Nov. 28. Last year, 26
persons were killed on ’Ibr
Heel highways during a
similar period.
’’Fatalities during the
Thanksgiving period
usually run higher than
other holidays,” ’Thomas
B. Watkins, chairman of
the statewide motor club,
said,. "For the past 17
years, deaths at this time
of year have averaged 26. ”
Watkins pointed out that
the long period during
which the state counts Its
toll, plus frequent In
clement weather, usiudly
make Thanksgiving a
perilous driving period.
’’But we are always
optimistic,” he com
mented, “and hope that
this year’s Thanksgiving
accidents will be fewer
than usual. Overall,
fatsdltles In the state sue
running behind last year.”
In 1976, speeding was a
factor In eight of the 24
mlshsqis In which fatsdlUes
occurred. Other accident
causes were tellure to
yield right-of-way (four),
and driving under the
Influence of
alcohol(three).
“Speeding, drinking and
carelessneas resulted In 16
deaths last year that
perhaps could have been
avoided,” Watkins
remarked. ”I caution our
drivers to help eliminate
these dreadful statistics.”
