I For A Happy Holiday
I For a merry Christmas and a
I nappy New Year, drivers and pe
destrians alike should remen\ber
I the three c’s: care, caution and
courtesy. They’re especially need*
I ed during the holiday season when
I crowds are large and many people
are preoccupied with what to get
Aunt Minnie.
So:
For motorists;
1. Stay alert when driving fal
congested holiday traffic.
2. Slow down at night.
3. Keep your headlights and
tailiights clean.
4. Be especially alert for care
less pedestrians.
5. Always have your windshield
clear. Keep packages off the back
shelf so you have an unobstructed
view.
For pedestrians:
1. Pretend the driver doesn't
see you and take precautions ac
cordingly.
2. Cross only at intersections
and with traffic lights.
3. Look both ways before cross
ing streets—even one-way thor
oughfares.
4. Don’t carry packages so high
that they obscure your vision.
5. Don’t dash into the street to
get a taxi. Another vehicle may
get you.
