Practical Driving Knowledge Combined With Skill Is A Safety Necessity Now This is the final article in the four part series titled “What-You Must Know to Obtain a Driver’s License In North Carolina.” The safe driver is the practical driver. Driving skill can be acquired but it takes a practical person to combine the sound judgment that makes for safe drving with essen tial knowledge of road rules and reg ulations. The skillful driver must drive not only his own car but must be ever alert to the movements of vehicles near him. He must drive for himself and for the person in the other car. “Common courtesies oh the road,” says Coleman V V . Roberts, President of the Carolina Motor Club, “often Bpell the difference between safety and sorrow. The lack of courtesy to pedestrians crossing at intersections, the failure to use proper hand sig nals, can lead only to traffic fatalit ies or personal injuries which in many cases are totally disabling.” If you are involved in an accident, a written report must be made to the City Police Department or to the Highway Safety Division within 24 hours. On your report tell exactly what happened and where the ac cident occurred. If anybody is hurt in an accident in which you are in volved or are a witness, render all possible aid. If you damage another person’s car while he is not present, the proper method is to leave your name and address in his car or stick a note under his windshield wiper giving details and your address so that you may be reached. If you live in North Carolina and own a motor vehicle it must be reg istered and any officer of the law is entitled to examine the registration certificate which should be carried at all times when the car is in use. License certificates should also be carried when you are driving a motor vehicle. The equipment on your car is vit ally important to your safety. Re quired equipment, which must be in spected regularly, includes: brakes, lights, horn, muffler, mirror, wind shield wiper, safety glass and good » Ward's Shoe Shop WEST EDEN STREET . ..

A parked vehicle may also cause an accident, kill someone or destroy property. There fore, before leaving your vehicle, set the brakes and stop the motor. If your car breaks down, move it o the highway by towing or pushing.” Be careful when parking on an up hill slope to turn your front wheels away from the curb and back up un til they touch the curb, on a downhill slope turn your front wheels toward the curb. It is also good policy to leave your car in gear. Do not park on the paved or traveled part of a highway and never on a hill or curve. Driving too fast for conditions is a dangerous practice. On an icy road, extreme caution must be shown at all times, also in heavy traffic or a crowded pedestrians area such as a school zone. If you want to live and stay heal thy do not take your half of the open road in the middle and don’t straddle lanes on a wide thoroughfare. Cau tion when passing is necessary at all times. Do not pass on hills,' curves, at intersections, at railroad cross ings, within 100 feet of a bridge or when another car is approaching. When you are being passed slow down a little and do not regain speed until the other car is well forward. Several rules should be followed when turning: get into the correct lane before turning and turn into the correct lane, give the right hand signal at least 50 feet before the turn, look about to see that nothing is in the way, and slow down to safe speed before turning. Do not make a “turn-about” or “U” turn to go in the opposite direction on any curve or near the top of a hill where you cannot be seen from 500 feet away. The use of hand signals, of course, is a must when making a turn, slow ng or stopping. Right of Way has been the basis of numerous arguments. There are Important rules to remember: first car into an intersection has the right of way, with no traffic signals of any kind, the car on your right has the right of way; a car, already in an intersection, should be allowed to make a left turn if he has signaled his intention, emergency vehicles al ways have the right of way, give pedestrians in crosswalks the right of way unless there are traffic sig nals or a police officer directing traf fic at that point, give a pedestrian the right of way if he is crossing and the light changes while he is in the crosswalk and remember that, a ped estrian always has right of way over a turning car when both are proceeding with a green light. Use of dim lights when driving at night cannot be stressed too highly. Avoid looking directly into the lights of cars you are meeting. Watch the right side of the pavement and this will help to keep lights from blind ing you. Be especially careful in re gard to pedestrians at night. Give them extra consideration. Six valuable miscellaneous rule? to follow are: put on brakes grad ually when you have a flat tire or blowout, if you run off the pavement ease back on by first slowing down, look back all the time when backing, watch out for bicycle riders and :? xTT-. j- ; v;- v --v : ' ’Tp?- *.■' : ,- <( '"V . j . .

Use your car wise y, observe traffic rules whether walking or riding—protect yourself and others.
