Some boast they learned in an hour. ■Will the training reduce high-- j,way fatalities, the State’s number one accident killer, of youths - be-1 tween the age four and__ twenty five, larger than all otHfer acci-' dent categories combined ? Dr. Benjamin C. Tinned, p. pro fessor at Appalachian State -Tea chers college, Boone, N. C„ thinks ( it will. ‘ He’s taught and studied driver training for 10 years, observed first-hand overloo programs operating in the United States. Driver education , emphasizes hew to drive but its sharpest ac cent centers on , developing sensi ble driving attitudes among youngsters, states Dr. Tinnt’l. names this th« key 'to re ducing accidents, which took a heavy death toll in Ndrth Caro lina last year. • The accident rate can be sliced 4« half hy proper driver training in high school, predicts tlie*pro fessor. The forecast is based on his own teaching experience and a Cleveland, Ohio, study of 1700 students who took driver training and 1700 who didn’t. The 1700 wh'b didn’t had twice the accidents of those who did. ‘ - Most school administrators in North Carolina seem to agree. -Eighty-one percent—or 693 high schools —of the schools with year offer driver education to- approxi mately 37,000 students, or 58 per cent of high schoolers reaching legal* age* ' Each local school administrative unit receives $5.25 for each high schooler enrolled. Local conditions determine the exact time when courses begin in various schools. Lack of qualified ""Instructors has posed a. roadblock. Only 18 percent of schools had the pro gram in 1957. The obstacle, is rapidly being removed as revealed by the 81 percent now having it. Dr. Tinnell, for instance, rently conducting in Burke Coun ty an extension course for 15 prospective driver education tea-1 vhers. He’ll teach a similar course on the Appalachian campus .this summer. : • 4 j Youngsters should take driver I training jifst . prior to reaching r licensing , age, states .the professor. In North Carolina, most attain the. legal driving age during the tgntji school year.*, v-^.r-y The course is riot forced upon the student. It’s an elective. In'some schools flwr course 'ta taught during regular school hours. At others it”s afterward or during summer. Dr. Tinned ven tures tjfltt. best results com e dur ing Regular school hours because , practm^ , '*flriving' add- classroom instruction can run concurrently. Required for. driver training are text-books phycho-physical test ing, devices .Atjtd automobiles with dual controls for both student and instructor. Local auto dealers usually loan schools new vehicles for driving practice, i Manufacturers giv e deal ers $125 off list price. Both bene fit from obvious advertising re ceived. , Some manufacturers believe that 75 per cent of th e people will buy the majke of car in which they first learned to drive, says Dr. Tinned. Driver education standardizes driving techniques. This eliminat es parents possessing poor driving habits from passing them on to their children. < It also teaches drivers how to save money. For example, many clutch their car in high gear be fore putting on brakes. “Apply footbrake before applying clutch pedal*' advises Dr. Tinned. “It’ll enable the driver to stop the car rum VAMrmem Daman in dess distance anu sav'o wear and' tear on expensive broke shoee.” . .note:.
