Captain EX Jones, the high way patrol's expert on police i pursuit driving, said that phy sical evidence and statements by witness indicate that minor driving errors often lead to a major wreck. t "It's net uncommon tor ?vcn a good driver to occasionally let his wheels drop off onto the shoulder," Jones said. "It is what he dees next that counts. If he follows a natur al impulse to jerk the car back onto the pavement, chan ces are good that he will lose control and have an accident." Jones described the correct procedure for overcoming such an emergency. "Concentrate on your steer ing," he emphasized. "Take your foot off the gas and let the car slow down of its on accord. Or apply the brakes very lightly. f "When speed is sharply re duced, watch for a place with ' the smallest drop off and steer back onto the pave ment" Jones, whose textbook on pursuit driving is standard fare for state troopers, also Top Police Official Asks Drivers To Review Winter Driving Habits WASHINGTON, D.C.—With traffic accidents and deaths reaching new highs almost every month, and with more motorists on the streets and highways, the individual motorist must accept greater personal responsibility for his own safety, says Quinn Tamm, • Executive Director, Interna tional Association of Chiefs of Police. "The police of our nation are doing a splendid job of en -14 forcing traffic laws, but un fortunately there are not enough of them in most states and local communities," the police executive said. "Every driver, therefore, must accept the challenge to improve his r * own driving skills and set an example to others by obeying 1 all traffic laws and supporting the police in their huge task of keeping the traffic law vio lators from killing themselves v and others." He opinted out that espec ially during the winter months, it is vitally important for motorists to accept the added responsibility of driving safely under adverse weather con ditions. "In addition to the normal dangers of driving that we en counter every day in the year, winter imposes two additional hazards inadequate tract y ion and reduced visibility. These can spell disaster to the unwary driver who fails to recognize them for what they are," Tamm pointed out. wiatatfe* thair 4 , . . - v • . ... . v warns against excessive speed in entering a curve which can literally throw you into an accident "Your best bet, of course, is to slow down before get ting into the curve and ap ply power coming out, but if you've erred at this point, don't make it worse by slam-; ming on brakes. "Doing that will lock the wheels; you lose directional control and centrifugal force will tat* over and sling you off the road. "If your speed isn't too great, easing off the gas may be enough to regain control. If brakes are needed for more slowdown, hit them in short, fast jabs to keep the wheels from locking." Jones went on to say blow outs are another emergency which calls for concentration on steering and a gradual slow down. He reminded drivers that in such situations any breaking effort will tend to pull the car sideways. "A light brake application can be helpful," he said, "if you are prepared for the un natural pull it creates. I "Keep these emergencies in mind because they can hap pen to anyone. Remember i what you have to do to keep I control so you won't turn a bad predicament into an accident." cars, but too few 'winter-wise' their driving habits. When pavements are slippery and visibility is poor, the wise motorist reduces his speed ac cordingly, keeps a longer dis tance between his car and other traffic, approaches inter sections with extra care, steers smoothly and brakes gently. "Courtesy, common sense and extra care are the marks of the responsible driver. He is the one most likely to get through winter's worst weather without an accident— or a traffic ticket," Tamm con cluded.
