The Utah group's findings are based on the detailed invest! gation of 35 selected motor vehicle accidents, including personal interviews with drivers and witnesses and close scrutiny of police reports. The Utah professor said most accident avoidance maneuvers require driver steering and braking inputs far above the range normally used by vehicle oper ators. When viewed in terms of typical driver training programs, it is apparent why no significant accident avoidance maneuvers are attempted, Dr. Limpert - Nine rules. A request for a geothermal lease site on Division land in Wasatch County was turned down by the Board. An application for a commercial hunting area (by Mountain View Farm) near Parowan, Utah, was approved. Information and Education Chief Alton Frazier made a presentation to the Board concerning the license increase needed by the Division to maintain the states wildlife programs. th know how to execute accident avoidance maneuvers, Dr. Lim- said.-- Pag - He said the study indicates that most frequent human causes of accidents were improper look out or attention to the driving task and incorrect application of safety measures and vehicle control. Driving under alcoholic influence was third on the list. In the category of injuries the report said the most significant human factor responsible for injury production was the lack of seat belt usage. In 24 of the 35 cases, the failure of using restraint systems probably increased the in jury severity to the occupants, the report stated. It is felt that in all cases where resraint systems were worn, the severity of injury was decreased. An earlier study by the auto crash research team indicated d of Utah that about drivers of 1974 cars have taken the ignition insteps to terlock system which prevents vehicles from starting before seat belts are fastened. The Utah team recommends that driver training programs involve both theoretical preparedness efforts as well as training in accident avoidance. Drivers should be trained and encouraged to: Constantly look for possible escape routes while traveling. Avoid frontal impact, especially in case of a disadvantage in car size. If restraints are used, a rollover off the road is likely to produce less severe injuries. or In case of tire blow-otire contact with the shoulder one-thir- by-pa- ss ut if its printing . . . dial 364-8464 Agonizing Pain From Ingrown Toenail?

Utah Power talks about your electric power: The fact that more people need more holism is another reason why Utah Power needs to build more generating plants. Some of the obvious and most talked about demands for more electricity stem from business and industry... the new shopping centers, new plants, new hospitals, new schools, and so forth. But great as the combined additional demand is from these new users, theres more. You see, electric service reaches literally every part of our communities without exception-lik- e, for example, new government-subsidize- d family housing projects. In the rapidly-growin- g Salt Lake Valley alone, some 600 new family housing units are now under construction or recently have been completed through government programs. And more units like them are needed to provide adequate housing for the elderly and people of modest income And as each new project is built, it adds to the grow ing demand for more electricity... this is one of the important reasons why more new power plants and more new power lines are being constructed. There are many often overlooked needs for electric power, like these housing projects, and the power company must have the generating capacity to serve them. And since youre a customer, you have a right to know that this is one more reason Utah Power continues to build new generating plants and power lines. |
