ACCIDENT FACTS
It's an ill wind that blows nobody j
good." Ronald Hocutt, director of |
the Highway Safety Division, said in j
commenting on the prospect of "gas- I
less Sundays." which he said would',
probably cut North Carolina's traffic I
fatality toll by as much as 20 per
cent.
"Wiuile I am not prepared, on the
basis of information I now have,
either to advocate or condemn "gas
ltss Sundays," it is interesting to
speculate as to the probable effect
such a restriction might have on
our traffic accident toll," Hocutt
said.
"Our lecords show that 109 of the
449 persons killed in traffic acci
dents in North Carolina the first five
months of this year were killed in
Sunday accidents. In other words,
one out of every four traffic fatali
ties in this stae occur on the Sab
bath. Thus, if our motorists were
compelled to keep their cars at home
on "gasless Sundays," we might rea
sonably e><pect a substantial re
duction in traffic deaths as a result."
The safety director said the Sun
day traffic toll this year totaled 15
in January. 20 in February, 30 in
March, 15 in April and 29 in Mav.
The heaviest toll for any one day
this year was on Sunday. March 16.
when 11 persons were killed in traf
j fic accidents in the state. Saturdays
were even more dangerous than Sun
days. the five-months toll for Satur
days being 110 lives. Thus. 229 of the
449 persons killed the first five mon
ths of this year were killed on Satur
days and Sundays. This was 51 per
cent of the total.
"Think of it, we could cut our traf
fic accident toll in half by having
gasless week ends." Hocutt declared.
"Of course. I am not sure that such
action will ever be taken or need to
be taken in this country. Seriously,
though, a substanial reducion in traf
fic fatalities could be effected with- j
out this prohibitive action. If our ;
motorists were willing, they could i
have their cake and eat it. too. That
is to say, they could continue to ride j
' and still not kill or be killed. All it
! takes is the use of a little courtesy. .
| .i little caution and a little common
1 sense in driving."
