Driving error every .4 mile
revealed in average motorist
by recent survey of experts
r» BILL CROWELL
5t sounds fantastic but it’s pos-1
Bible that in the last 10,000 miles
you drove you committed 25,
OOO. driving errors.
That’s the conclusion dfawn
in a recent test conducted
among 10,860 licensed drivers by
automotive experts who watched
carefully the wheel handling
techniques of each. Altogether
seme 50,000 miles of observed
driving was amassed during the
experiment.
When it was done 143,695
errors had been recorded—an
average of 13 per driver or one
every four-tenths of a mil?.
Not all of the miscues could
really be called serious, nor did
they all affect the safe operation
of an automobile. While some of
the errors involved violations of
the law, others were merely
abuses of the car’s equipment or
practices that cut down on a
driver’s efficiency. Considered in
its entirely, however, the wealth
of statistical data indicates that
oven a motorist who normally is
idenitified as a good driver is
' Still a long way from being per
fect.
The tests were conducted
primarily to aid teachers of
high school driver education
classes.

the survey to check their own
driving habits against the more
common faults.
The most frequent error
noted by far was incorrect posi
tioning of the hands on the
steering wheel. Of each 100
drivers checked, observers noted
140.5 instances of incorrect hand
position. Some drivers commit
ted the error more thah once
during the course of the test.
This obviously unsafe practice
includes such errors as resting
-hands on the steering wheel
crossbar or gripping the wheei
with both hands at the top or
bottom. V> ~.t ,
Going around corners revealed
some poor turning techniques
among a surprisingly large
number of drivers. Shifting gears
was the error most often noted;
while in the middle of a turn
('Dangerous because it requires
the driver to take one hand off
the wheel and because it can
also cause skids on faster turns.)
Many other drivers were gtiil
ty of such commonplace boo
boos as approaching a turn from
the wrong lane, approaching too
fast, fininshing a turn in the
wrong lane and cutting corners
i too closely.

guilty of riding, the clutch pedal

At quarterly public hearing ...
Big commercial zo ne increase sought
Major extensions of commer
cial zones in the Chapel Hill
area have been formally request
ed. - i. ‘—
•Petitions for this purpose were
among eight zone ..change re-,
quests presented to- the Chapel
Hillt aldermen .and the .District
Planning Hoard at a quarterly
zoning hearing on Monday. All
were referred as required by lo
cal ordinance to the planners
| for a recommendation back to the
aldermen who will likely act on
them next .month. ..
Also heard was a petition from
the Chapel Hill School Board for
rezoning of about eight acres of
its downtown school property,
not now zoned for business use,
to business. Dr. Richard Peters,
Double-shift classes oppo
Board okays it, if necessary
At its Monday meeting the
Board also heard conflicting opin
ions on tly advisability of and
need for double-shifting of class
es in some primary grades next
year. Two citizens, Mrs. Donald
Matthews and John Moore, ap
peared and spoke in opposition
to the idea.
A number of school adminis
plan as the best idea under tha
circumstances of overcrowding
that face the schools next year.
The school spokesmen generally
felt that as a temporary solution
the holding of separate morning
and afternoon class sessions was
preferable to holding classes in
separated and/or temporary
spokesman for the Board, said
that the school officials felt they .
needed at least three times as
much space as that available on
the current 10-acre site, and felt
they could realize enough from
the sale of this land to construct \
a new high school building on
a more adequate site.
Re-zoning to regional commer
cial, the business - type cate
gory, was requested by owners
of two Durham Boulevard area
tracts. Andy Karres et al asked
this for about 35 acres on the
north side of the highway jus*
west of Durham County and
John D. Latimer entered a sim
ilar request for 11 acres con
sisting of the old Foy Roberson
home place on the south side of
the boulevard.
Another request by the Kar»
res group sought down • zoning
from RA-20 (residential! to
10 for 150 acres in back of that
highway frontage for which thef
asked commercial rezoning. Th«
petitioners said they hoped to
put $14-$2Q,000 homes in this
area, and would set up their own
sewage plant' to serve the de
velorment.
The only significant opposition
to any of the eight petitions
heard was against issuance of a
special use permit to the Lamb
da Chi Alpha fraternity to build
a fraternity house at Pickard
Lane and E. Franklin St. Prof.
M. S. Breckenridge, Pickard Lane
resident, spoke vigorously a
gainst this as well as against a
relaxation of off-street parking
requirements, also sought in be
half of the fraternity.
The Lambda Chis proposed to
combine three residential lots ad
joining their rented home\ on
Pickard Lane and to put up a
new house to accommodate 40
residents on the three-lot site.
Other re-zoning matters re
ferred by the aldermen were:
Petition by G. Hancock and
Goodyear Mortgage -Co. for re
zoning of 31 acres on the south
side of Ephesus Church Rd.
from RA-20 down to RA-15.
From the Sparrow estate for
re-zoning of four acres on thtr
east side of Hillsboro St. between
Bolin Creek and a branch south
of it from RA-10 down to RA
Six. ,
