UTAH j drivers clusively that teen age 11 times more likely to cause a fatal accident than those from 45AsJ long as there are teen agers and automobiles, they are going to get together. The answer is not Don't let Junior drive but-tr- ain him properly so that he will be a good driver. In one state 1800 high school students were trained by a state police officer and during the 2 12 year period, only 1 student had a minor le accident. If these stu-dents know their limitations and sIfeeSStrai above the average 1 per cent of the 25 000 h have a drivers' in Utah schools offcKoth "J courses in behind ft" ver training.

The temp-orary blindness occasioned I W momentary exposure to bngh headlights is experienced by in some degree and a ysome time. This test reveals the duration of the blindness. The result of many tests indi-cate that only 4 per cent of the drivers are in reality fcident prone, that is because thur physical limitations subject to accidents. But this 4 per cent for 40 per cent of all accidents. Another group respon-sible for a high percentage of tne accidents is the teen age drivers, and these figures are the result of 100,000 drivers who were test-ed over a 6 year period. During this test 16 year old drivers were responsible for 201 fatalities, 17 year old drivers 186 and in the 18 year bracket 148, 19 year olds were charged with 215. During this same period, the drivers be-tween 45 and 50 years of age killed 66 persons. This is par-ticularly serious and alarming when we realize that the teen age driver ordinarily uses the car only at those times when it is not being used by his seniors, and the study continues to reveal con- - "j SHOULD YOU BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE? Why of course! Your answer is obvious and to you the question is ridiculous. Sure, you should be allowed to drive, you are a tax payer, you pay property tax, in-come tax, sales tax, excise tax. The excise tax alone on your mo-tor vehicle in 1947 was $1,577,-033,060.- for tax on oil, tires, tubes and parts. Then you bought your license plates and you paid state and federal gasoline tax. Finally you paid for a drivers license and were required to take a drivers examination. So you and 40 million othur drivers of the United States have the right to drive', and yet last year 34,000 lives were lost in highway acci-dents. Just think of it, this equals the total population, men, women and children of Provo, Price, Ce-dar City and Biigham City, and this doesn't count a million other persons who were maimed and mangled and who sometime dur-ing 1948 may be rightfully added to the 1947 toll. Why? Sure, bad roads and faulty equipment were responsible for some, but only approximately 10 per cent. The balance can be charged honestly and squarely to just plain bad, careless or faulty driving. Investigation of many accidents brings to the surface the same answer "I didn't realize until just a second before the accident". Driver Testing Laboratory This driver testing laboratory offering a complete battery of tests, developed and designed to let each individual know his own physical limitations, includes: A. Keystone Visual Safety Tests. Designed to more acuiate-l- y determine visual ability than is possible with the standard let-ter charts. 1. Color Discrimination. To de-termine the ability between red, green, blue and yellow. 2. Visual Acuity. Three separ-ate tests used in the determina-tion of the ability to distinguish small details at a distance mea-suring each eye individually and both eyes together. 3. Depth Perception. A test of the ability to judge relative po-sitions of distant objects. 4. Vertical and Lateral Imbal-ance. A check on proper align-ment of eyes with respect to each other. 5. Near .Point Fusion. A test of the ability to focus eyes quickly and correctly on near objects. B. Visual Speed and Accuracy. This is a unique test designed specifically for drivers to deter-mine the ability to distinguish small details quickly and accur-ately. C. Reaction Time. The reacto-mete- r used for this test measures within a hundredth of a second the driver's reaction time for hands and feet. This indicates the lag from the time the brain gives the command to act until the muscles of the hand and feet can actually execute the command. D. Side Vision. This test mea-sures one of the more important driver abilities that of being able to see cars and pedestrians to the side when the eves are ac- - tually focused on the road straight ahead. E. Night Vision. This test de-termines the very important abil-ity of seeing under low illumina-tion, as is required of drivers during twilight hours and during hours of darkness when they must look as far as possible be-yond the actual focus of the head lamps. The perception of form and shape, rather than the ability to identify small detail is the main factor in this test. F. Glare Resistance. A test to determine the ability to see un- - Driver Testing Laboratory To Be In Bingham May 10th f - . - , ' drS"-- TSJ--d , ' - y V. ly,' 'Jtfv 'Kty'-'- & ima'-- ?WX&frk .k.fl ... .. , ...j.,,,. ...h.m it il inn ma wMm tut i vjgMMgWMWli mi''"" ni''XXS'TfV Z&l fi'ihy r Mt fp SU tJfr L 3 Ft fkStmmm TBRnspoBQsgpj.: m Mm TESTIflB LHBOHHTOHV 4 St " r-'- . f MPVZmvsx, m .
