Keep Vehicle Off Road During All Blackouts, Safely Head Advises "At no , time during a blackout should, a vehicle be on the road, except' in the • case of an emer .gency," limos E. Neyhart, admin istrative head of the Institute of Public - Safety at Penn State, stat ed in an interview last night. Mr. Neyhart has just returned from Yale University where he instructed members of the Red Cross Motor and- Civilian Driver Corps in 'the principles of emer gency blackout driving. The -course was given_in collaboration with •the Office of Civilian De fense. During a blackout in New Hav en on Friday night, Mr. Neyhart took his .group five miles out of lo•Wrk . to See hbw well they could drive in total darkness. The driving was not done on roads be cause,' under wartime conditions, the first thing enemy pldnes would bomb would be all routes of . transportation and communi cation. The group had to drive up and down hills, over rocky terrain, thrOugh shallow streams, and be tween trees. The light that the , drivers had to go by was equiv alent to one two-hundredth of the light usually thrown by an 'auto mobile headlight. Blackout head light covers were used. • Some suggestions Mr. Neyhart gave for doing emergency driving in a blackout are: 1. When in doubt of what is ahead, get out of the car 'and do a little reconnaissance. 2., Never drive faster than 15 miles per hour through a resi dential section and do even less than that through intersections. 3: Before .starting to drive,• wait for from 10-25 minutes until your eyes hecome adjusted to the dark..
