Traffic Fatality Estimated To Cost Minimum Of $18,200 Not only is the price of milk, eggs, and meat high these davns. but even the cost of a fatal automo- 1 bile accident has reached the ' luxury class, according to Major Samuel L. Gaynor. assistant direc tor of the Highway Safety Division of the Department of Me'or Ve hicles. which is conducting the current safety campaign in North Carolina. "Since the National Safctv Coun cil has estimated tho un't cost of a traffic fatality a4 $13 200 on th? basis of wage loss rredical ex ncnsc. overhead cost of insurance and property damage, the human body has become a valuable piece of machinery." Major Gaynor said in explaining the campaign's slogan: "Your Life Is In Your Hands." The purpose of the current drive is to make everyone who walks or drives aware of his personal re sponsibility for traffic safety. "If nothing else." Major Gaynor said, "we'll consider (he campaign a success if we can impi ess upon the individual the fact that acci dents are something depending one-tenth on Fate and nine-tenths on human frailty If you're in an accident the chances are good that a part of the carelessness or disre- ' gard for traffic regulations is | yours." he added. Every person exposed m traffic has too much at stake? the $18. 200 material loss and the incalcul able distress of his loved ones ? to ignore the fact that accidents are where you make them and that the bulk of them are definitely pre ventable. according to Major Gay- j no/. "Last year 32.000 persons died I in this country as a result of traf- 1 fic accidents alone," Major Gay- 1 nor said. "A total of 734 died and I 7,490 were injured last year rig\ht here in North Carolina so it can be fatal to take an impersonal, it can't-happen-to-mc attitude in the ! matter of traffic safety." he con 1 eluded.
