SThis incident, and many like it urin" everv day on our streets uid Whwavs proves conclusively It the ability to drive an automobile auto-mobile is no guarantee that the Iterator of the vehicle has the mo-ive mo-ive to drive sanely. Safe driving mbits are not a veneer that can k applied externally. They come only when individuals have a firm desire from within to respect and obey the law. For the past several weeks I have travelled Highway 91 during the msh hours. Maybe it is just wishful thinking, but I am convinced con-vinced that the average adult driver driv-er is becoming just a little more safety conscious, and considerate of the rights of others. During" the last few years millions mil-lions of" words have been written in papers and magazines urging operators to drive with safety and respect. Perhaps at long last, some of it is beginning to soak in. Education Edu-cation is withal a slow and tedious ted-ious process. Habits of long stand-in? stand-in? are difficult to replace with core desirable ones. Greater Utah Valley, Inc.. is proud of the hundreds of drivers in our area who have driven for years without a serious accident, and who continue to operate their cars with friendly consideration for the rights of the other fellow. Perhaps a few "citations" for the courteous driver would not te amiss, along with the hundreds handed out of the other variety. After all, adults are not far different dif-ferent from children. They will respond quickly and favorably to a little merited praise. |
