STATE POLICE SAY
For every take a chance mo-
torist who deliberately passes
a stop sign or hogs the center
of the road, there are many
more who make the same mis-
take unconsciously, usually be-
cause of drifting thoughts.
Driving an auto is too serious
a problem to handle by a mind
that’s not ON THE JOB.
