THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1967 NUMBER 42 STUDENT DRIVER CANDIDATES TAKING TEST AT JOHN GRAHAM High School Students Take Driving Course Juniors and Seniors of John Graham High School and Haw kins High School completed the National Safety Council De fensive Driving Course yes terday (Wednesday). Approxi mately 125 students from John Graham and 200from Hawkins completed the course. The course has been taught at the two Warrenton schools for four two-hour sessions by L. A. Howes, instructor of the Department of Motor Ve hicles Drive* Education Di vision. All students who completed will receive National Safety Council Certificates of Com pletion. Before beginning the course, Howes consulted with J. R. Peeler, superintendent of Warren County Schools. Howes said that Peeler be lieves that an important ans wer to the traffic acdd&t problem, In which over 50,000 Americans die each year, is education In better driving techniques. Peeler felt, Howes said, that the course would be of special benefit to our young people since they are now de veloping good or bad driving habits, depending on the edu cation and training received. Howes said plans are to in clude all juniors and seniors in the county during the school year. Warren and Franklin Coun ty juniors and seniors are the first in the state to complete the course as a group, Howes said. The students, he said, have highly praised the course as very beneficial to them, especially as a follow-up in Driver Education. They also strongly feel that it is very helpful in developing better techniques since they now have some driving experience on which to build better driving habits. The course is design ed for experienced licensed drivers. The course envolvestheuse of films, flip charts, black board, magnetic board, simu lated cars, and student work books. The course was offer ed at no cost to the county or schools. Howes said defensive driv ing techniques centered around the two-car crash and the six positions that another car may take In relation with the defensive driver before a crash with him. The six positions are: the car In front, the car behind, the car up ahead, the car to the side, while passing and while be ing passed. These kind of crashes account for about 42 per cent of all fatalities on our highways. It was pointed out that If a driver will learn the six positions and the de fenses against them, he will have gone a long way towards preventing the two-car crash. Some time was spent on avoiding the one-car accident, Howes said. This type accident accounts for about 53 percent of all accidents when Includ ed In the run-off-the-road type, pedestrian, blcyclst, and striking a fix object. Most of those kind of crashes re sult in the driver being charg ed with driving too fast for conditions. Several of the teachers In the respective schools have attended various phases of the course and are planning to give a teacher evaluation of the course. Howes said that a great many students will also be asked to evaluate the course. CONFERENCE The Rev. G. W.
