People Learn
The Hard Way
What would your chances be of
walking away, uninjured, after
driving your car off a 10-story
building?
According to Jirff B. Wilson,
director of the Highway Safety
Division of the North Carolina
Department of Motor Vehicles,
the physical effect is the same as
if you hit a solid obstruction on
the highway at 60 miles an hour
? and the odds against your get
ting out of it unharmed are about
the same.
"At this speed your chances of
being killed, rather than injured,
are about eight times greater than
they would be if you were travel
ing at 20 miles an hour." Wilson
said. "Special studies of rural
accidents show that the higher
the speed the greater the chance
for death in case of an accident."
Wilson discussed these severity
rates in connection with the De
partment's July campaign against
excessive speed, which is being
conducted in cooperation with the
National Safety Council as a part
of its year-round traffic safety
program.
Emphasis during July, according
to the highway safety division
head, is centering around the
motorist's personal responsibility
for driving at speeds in keeping
with the condition of the road,
the car. the weather and other
factors.
" Speeders Lose. ' " Wilson said.
! "is more than a slogan. It is cold,
j statistically-based summing up of
what drivers and pedestrians in
about 10.000 accidents learn every
year ? the hard way."
