You'll Be | Home
For Xmas If You
Drive With Care |
|
“Whether you will be home for |
Christmas depends in part on how
you drive your car between now
and Christmas” (Chief of Police Rus-
sell Honeywell, said this week.
“Some motorists in our state
won't be alive to celebrate the
year’s most beloved holiday, for
they'll die in automobile tragedies.
Others will be observing the holi-
day in hospital beds they never ex-
pected to occupy, because they
never suspected they would be the
next to be injured in a traffic ac-
cident. :
“Street and highway mishaps will
break up a goodly number of homes
this month, just because some dri-
vers, and some pedestrians, forgot
to take traffic rules seriously.” |
December, he pointed out, is the
month of least daylight in the year. |
Hours of darkness fall extremely |
early, making it necessary for many |
workers to go to and from work !
in twilight or darkness,
“Add to the darkness the haz-!
ards of sleet, snow and ice, and you
can understand why any mistake |
in judgment while driving or walk- |
ing becomes twice as dangerous,” |
Honeywell said,
“With many stores open even-g
ings for holiday shopping, and with
public transportiation vehicles carry-
ing peak loads, it behooves every
private vehicle operator to be alert,
amticipating the possible actions of
fellow drivers and pedestrians.
“Traction will become undepend-
able as streets and highways are
covered with snow and ice. Drivers
will have to reduce speed, lengthen
distance between cars, make grad-
ual stops rather than quick stops,
and use anti-skid chains when con-
ditions warrant, This is more im-
portant now, with virtually all auto
tires mow in use being made of
snythetic rubber.
“Pedestrians will have to be
mindful of their own responsibili-
ties, stepping from ithe curb only
when it's safe to do so, crossing
streets where expected—iat corn-
ers—and avoiding the blocking of
their own vision by umbrellas or
bundles.
“Motorists who are planning out-
of-town trips for the [Christmas
holiday should allow plenty of time
for their journey, taking into ac-
count ‘the possibility of sudden
change in the weather and develop-
ment of hazardous highway con-
ditions.
“Our state has a well-planned
program of snow removal, but in-
dividual motorists must join us in
exercising good sense in driving.
‘Snow fences are set up along
side highways to control the drifts,
stock piles of cinders and other
abrasives mixed with ice-melting
chemicals are placed at known dan-
ger points, and snow plows with

their crews go into action as
needed;
“But every motorist must accept
his shiare of responsibility for com-
batting ithe effects of winter weather
on the highways. He should make
sure the road he wishes to travel
is passable before starting. He
should have tire chains ready for
use, and never relax vigilance until
his trip is completed.”
