SUJGTION TWO—-
Failure To Share i
Road With Others |
Inviting Accidents
Common Sense Courtesy
Goes Long Way to
Reduce Wrecks
“Failure to share the road with oth
ers is a dangerous threat to safety
on our streets and highways,” Major
C. A. Speed, director of the Motor Ve
hicles Department’s Highway Safety
Division said today.
The application of common sense
courtesy on the part of drivers would
dp a lot to reduce accidents, he point
ed out.
Speed chose these words to stress
the importance of highway courtesy
which the Motor Vehicles Department
and cooperating local agencies are em
phasizing in March.
“Many traffic accidents occur when
drivers are straddling the center line
of the road, or when they neglect to
yield right of way to pedestrians or
other drivers at intersects,” Speed de
clared.
It is just common sense, too, and
courtesy, for drivers to dim their
lights when they approach or follow
other cars at night, he said.
“And it is common sense, and cour
tesy. to drive at a safe speed for road,
traffic and weather conditions,” Speed
explained, “because an unsafe speed
endangers the lives of pedestrians and
other motorists. If you lose control
of your car those innocent, as well as
yourself, may suffer from your haste.’'
With the nroper attitude of sharing
the road with others, these discour
' teous, unsafe practices would disap
pear, according to Speed.
Referring to last year’s fatal motor
vehicle accidents. Speed said they in
dicated that the following list of cour
teous acts must be considered basic to
safe driving:
1. Share the road by driving in the
proper lane.
2. Allow ample clearance when
passing.
8. Yield the right of way to other
drivers ... to pedestrians.
4. Give proper signals for stops and
turns.
5. Dim headlights when meeting or
following vehicles.
6. Respect traffic laws, signs, sig
nals and road markings.
7. Adjust driving to road, traffic
and weather conditions.
“All these points are summed up in
the slogan being publicized in this na
tionwide program,” Speed said.
He urged everyone to remember and

tl FACT OR FANCY?
) One of the greatest differences be
- tween our own times and those of our
grandparents is in the attitude toward
1 illness. Modem man says; “Give us!
I the facts and we’ll do something about
; it.” Nineteenth-century man saw di
sease either as a cruel stroke of fate
t or as punishment for his sins,
r Since there didn’t seem to he much
he could do about illness, grandfather
. was inclined to romanticize it, make
it as pretty as he could. Tuberculosis,

called, was a favorite of Victorian nov

jually she died, with her last breath
forgiving the sorrowing family clus

took her to Europe where she fell in

made a miraculous recovery. Another
I typical character was the Black Sheep
who came home to beg forgiveness for
his wild life and die coughing in his
mother’s arms.
Poets and artists almost always
were described as having a hectic, tu

Modem man doesn’t want romantic
legends about disease. He wants facts.
He doesn’t leave his health to fate,
but takes personal responsibility for
it. He knows that the poet’s death
from TB was tragically unnecessary;
that the great picture was painted in
spite of, not because of TB. He does
not think it’s romantic to be half
