NC Trackers Association Urging Citizens to Check Caxs, Tracks WINSTON-SALEM ? With ve-'' hide faults showing up in 500,000 of the nation'8 . 8,000,000 traffic accidents, the North Carolina Motor Carriers Association is call ing for all highway users to make a complete check of the mechani cal condition of their trucks or ?cars. "Spring Check-up" is the theme of the April National Courtesy and Safety Program of the Amer ican Trucking Association, Inc. "Now is especially a good time to make a thorough inspection," the NCMCA President, J. K. Mc Lean stated today, "because the last four years* experience shows the. average motorist death rate on the open road rises steadily Irom April until the following winter." "We pin the cause of this up surge In the death rate on clearer weather and better road condi tions. We also attribute it to the resultent tidal wave of traffic. With a flood of vehicles on the roads, wt must consider the in creased possibility of collision. Every safety device must be put in order and kept that way." The trucking official gave steer ing, tires, brakes, lights, horn and windshfeld wipers, as chief ob jects of inspection. "Just as you go to a dentist for a periodic inspection," he said, you should have a reliable garage or service station check your car periodically. ?? 1 1 ? ? i ? Driver*' Ten Commandments I. The good driver keepth his car in safe condition. II. He drlveth only when sober, and never to great weariness. III. His mind doth not wander, for safe driving keepth a man busy. IV. He keepeth always to the speed which glveth perfect con trol. V. He passeth Intersections and grade crossings with care. VI. To children and pedestrains he glveth thought, for over them he hath the power and' life and death. VII. He obeyeth the law of the land, knowing obedience may in crease his years. VIII. For the hazards of driving in the night, he maketh allow ance. IX Though his soul be tried, the good driver remembereth , that courtesy is the first law of self preservation. X. When he goeth on foot, the good driver remembereth the Golden Rule.
