Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Whatever you drive, here's how to drive it more safely!
Every time you take to the road you have a great
responsibility…to drive safely and sensibly. This
responsibility holds good no matter whether you.re traveling
over the familiar streets of your home town or making
a long vacation trip. Only when driving is done with the
utmost care, caution and courtesy . . . at all times . . . can
our streets and roads become safer for you, your fellow
motorists and pedestrians.
Just how urgent is it for everyone to know and obey
traffic laws and observe the rules of the road? The answer
is found in some shocking statistics:
Every hour of every day, on the average,
4 lives are lost and 150 people are hurt
in motor vehicle accidents
That adds up to a yearly traffic toll of over 38,000
deaths, well over a million injuries and costs mounting
into the billions of dollars.
How can you help reverse this tragic trend and make
motoring the pleasure it should be? Here are some safety
suggestions that may help:
1. Check your speed-It has been found that about
3 out of 10 drivers involved in fatal accidents each year
were guilty of violating speed laws. Always remember to
slow down at night and when road, traffic and weather
conditions are hazardous.
2. Check yourself-Research has shown that about
1 out of 14 drivers involved in fatal accidents had a
physical or mental condition-such as worry, fatigue and
sleepiness-that was a contributing factor jn the accident.
So, never drive when you're upset or tired.
3. Check your car-Keeping your car in safe operating
condition your responsibility-not your mechanic’s. You
can judge for yourself whether brakes, tires, steering
wheel, lights and windshield wipers are in proper working
order. If you notice any defects, have them corrected
immediately. Don't wait until it's time for your next
semiannual car check to have even the most minor trouble
corrected.
4. Check your driving habits-Now and then, the
most skilful drivers tend to become a bit careless. They
may become less considerate of other drivers and of
pedestrians-or take chances on violating this or that
traffic law. Remember, all rules of the road are made to
help you, not to hinder you.
The fact that you.ve never had a mishap is no proof that
you are the complete master of your car. Perhaps you've
been lucky . . . and luck has a way of running out sooner
or later. So, drive as if your life depended on it. It does!
