Show - - - The DESERET SAMPLER, Fri., Jan. 10, 1969 mH& Winter Driving Questionnaire Promotes Safety Recent distribution of a Winter Driving Questionnaire by Dupvay Safety Division has met with thorough response from Deseret Test Center employees. The questionnaire, designed to promote discussion of winter driving hazards among employees, was so successfully received that plans are leing made to include similar questionnaires on a variety of subjects in the near future. LISTED BELOW are correct answers to the seventeen questions. Answers are luised on current National Safety Council or military regulations. 1. AH windows - front, liack and side - as well as rear view mirrors must le clear so the vehicle operator can have full vision in all directions. 8.5 per cent of employees missed this question. 2. That extra couple hundred pounds of sand in the trunk doesn't give as much extra traction as was once believed. Actually, extra weight in the trunk makes steering trickier once you get going.

To date, no device offers as much increased traction, reducer1 stopping distances, more protection from side skids and general feeling of security, as reinforced tire chains. These devices do not, however, equal dry pavement performance. A surprising 8 per cent of the people were fooled by this question.

AS ROADS become slippery it is increasingly important that brakes be in the best of condition and balanced for uniform braking. Check and adjust if necessary; uneven pull can twist you into a skid on ice. 99 per cent of those questioned knew the correct answer. 7. Carbon monixide is part of the exhaust gasses given off by your car. In the winter when windows are usually up, an exhaust leak into the passenger car can be deadly. Inspect muffler of one per and tail pipe for leaks - and be safe. Only one-ha- lf cent missed this question. 8. Ice IS twice as slippery at 30 degrees as it is at 0 degrees. The 30 degree ice is wetter than the colder, drier 0 de- gree ice. This serves to lubricate the ice and reduce friction between your vehicle tires and the ice. 14 per cent missed this SWIFT'S PREMIUM Mi Always at Wre Your Service . . .

Stopping distances on slippery surfaces are from 3 to 12 'times as long as on dry roads. Sometimes the driver ahead may slow down quickly on a dry oit of pavement and you may have only an icy surface on which to stop.

Due to difference in temperature, ice is formed sooner and lasts longer on bridges and in shady spots. 7.5 per cent of those questioned didn't know this fundamental rule of winter driving. 12.

A rapid pumping of the brakes is the safest way to stop on ice. By pumping the brakes, steering control can be maintained. Apply the brakes quickly for an instant and as quickly release them for an instant. Repeat this - on and off, on and off, to a complete stop. The effect is to give alternate short intervals of maximum braking effort and effective steering control of all wheels when the brakes are released and the wheels roll. An amazing 20 per cent missed this fundamental rule. 15. First and foremost, avoid spinning the drive wheels in snow. Spinning on ice or snow generates heat which warms the ice directly under the tires and reduces traction by half. Spinning the wheels only makes things slicker, digs you in deeper. Almost everyone knew this driving technique. 16. DIRTY WINDSHIELDS cut visibility and aggravate glare, but dirty headlamps reduce illumination as much as 25 per cent under normal highway use. Always keep a couple of rags handy for wiping windows, headlights, and taillights. Nearly everyone agreed with this. 17. 25 per cent of the people were incorrect on this question but the state law says: Remember to turn on your lights one-ha- lf hour after sunset. If you drive early in the morning, keep them on until one-hahour before sunrise. Also use them in foggy or stormy weather and at any time of day when you cannot see 500 feet ahead. o LOW, LOW PRICES! o FARM FRESH PRODUCE! e MODERN LIBBY'S APPLETIME VIENNA APPLE SAUSAGE SAUCE o FAMOUS NATIONAL BRANDS! o GOLD STRIKE STAMPS! 312-O- NO.
