BAD..MOTOR MANNERS
FtJpJl'e to grant the right-of
way caused the greatest number
of auto accidents last March, High
way Safety Chief H. D. Jones of
Raleigh said today.
Accidents in March, 1952, caus
ed 1,113 injuries and 74 deaths,
he said, and most of them were
the result of bad Motor Manners.
The Motor , Vehicles Depart
ment's Highway Safety Division
and the National Safety Council
are featuring Motor Manners as
the safety theme for March.
He said there were 3,357 report
ed motor vehicle accidents in
March of last year and appealed
10 iar rieei motorists to reduce
this by at least 18% this month.
Loss from wrecks came to $7,
030,000 in March a year ago.
Jones said, “Have you ever stop
ped to figure out how many perm
anent improvements we could
have in our state, if only the tax
payers and their representatives
would decide to stop this useless
waste? There’s just one step be
tween you and tragedy.”
“None of our good citizens
would permit anyone to go beserk
and shoot down citizens without
doing something about it, but still
they haven’t become aroused or
concerned enough to prevent the
slaughter that takes place on our
thoroughfares most every day.”
“Death took only five holidays
last March, make safe driving—
and walking—a habit,” Jones con
cluded.
