to make a quarrel, but It doesn'
take two motor vehicles to make 1
fatal accident.
In fact, one third of the fatal ac

last year Involved only one autonu

Non-collision accidents, or tha
tj pe of accident in which the on<

generally result from speeding
or reckless driving. In -other words

accidents. Except in the relative!;
fe few cases wherein a car gets out o
control because of a broken steei

animal or other obstruction in th

ft kindred type of .accident, colli,
W-\ 1o with a fixed object, snuffed ou
the lives . of 75 North Carolinian

449 others. These were .accidents It
which a motor vehicle struck a pos

th? most part by speeding or reel
