Motor Club
Predicts 32
Road Deaths
The N.C. State Motor Club
estimated that approximately 32
persons will die in traffic accidents
during the Christmas and New
Year's holidays, according to
Thomas B. Watkins, chairman of
the statewide organization.
"But there is a bright spot,"
Watkins said. "Though eleven
months of 1975, fatalities are the
lowest in ten years. That gives us
encouragement that drivers are
becoming more alert and safety
minded.'
Through November, the North
Carolina death toll stands at 1334.
A year ago at that time, 1446
persons had been killed.
The state will count its fatalities
during two 102-hour periods be
ginning at 6 P.M. on the eve of
each holiday and lasting until
midnight on the Sunday after
wards. Last year. 15 persons lost
their lives during two 30-hour
holiday periods.
"As always traffic will be heavy
and the weather could be in
clement," Watkins said. "There
fore, we recommend that holiday
drivers be extra careful and not
take needless chances."
