Safety council warns drivers of small cars to avoid blind spots The Utah Safety Council warns drivers of small cars to avoid, as much as possible, driving in the blind spots of other vehicles. "All to often," T. T. Pinder, Utah Safety Council President, reported, "smaller cars, both foreign and U. S. made, will get in the blind area of the larger vehicle and just hang in there. When the driver of the standard size car makes a turn or pulls out to pass, an accident more than often occurs with the smaller vehicle coming out on the short end of the deal." Owners and drivers of the smaller cars are urged to make greater use of the horn and lights when overtaking and passing other standard size vehicles. Pinder pointed out, however, that in using the horn, a cour- i CLASSIFIED ADS THE HERALD QUICK RESULTS Number Fifty-two mayor assigned the newly elected city councilman, Fred Bonney to work with the group and make some recommendations. recom-mendations.

Accident here injures five An accident involving two cars at the intersection of US 91 and the 1-15 access road last Thursday Thur-sday night injured five persons. The accident was investigated by state troopers. I Drivers of the cars were Dixie Ann Grimmett, 33, Sunset Beach, California; and John Carl Cook, 18, Spanish Fork. Both cars were totaled. The drivers were both injured, as were three passengers. Riding in Grimmett car were Kim Curtis, 16 and Colleen G. Palfreyman, 37, addresses were not available. An injured passenger in the Cook car was Bonnie Cook, 18. . AH of the injured were taken to the Utah Valley Hospital for treatment. teous tap on the button is all that is needed to alert fhe fellow highway user. Laying on the horn makes most drivers unhappy and sends them on their way to a possible accident. "This extra care," Pinder said, "is necessary because a smaller car cannot be seen as easily as the larger vehicle. Its presence is not as obvious to other drivers when the small car is in certain positions in relation to the larger vehicle." "Especially important," he continued, "is when the smaller vehicle in traveling in the curb lane make certain that the larger vehicle isn't going to make a right turn and cut you off into a utility pole or traffic sign. Many hundreds of accidents of this nature are reported in Utah on an annual basis." "'.-.''vc |
