Add to that picture an equal or greater number of motorists traveling in the opposite direction to and from other places of employment. All know something about highway safety - but each has his own idea of the ground rules. Many overlook highway courtesy. The majority of those AFLC drivers travel during the most dangerous periods of a day -dawn, twilight or dark - over varied types of roads and in -- everv conceivable weather lighted city streets, and interstate highway systems. The weather may be bright, rainy, foggy, sandy, hazy Under these or snowy. and the conditions, courtesy use of lights are synonymous. The National Safety Council recognizes a vehicle's lighting system as one of its most important safety features. Numerous studies have been conducted to improve lighting and to correct driving errors. Still, most accidents are caused by human error. The most common, and deadly, driving error is the overdriving of headlights.

The new booklet ) 16-pa- summarizes important 1970 census results about women and presents them in a form readily absorbed. Many illustrations, photos, simple charts and graphs are used to tell the story. The figures and the words show that the American woman will exert an ever more powerful influence on the destiny of the United States as a result of her increasing participation in the lalxir force and her growing educational background.

Defensive driving, another way to say courtesy, includes the use of headlights - day or night - so oncoming traffic can see your car, and stop in time when necessary. Dimming of lights when meeting or following another vehicle at night is another act -- -- of safety and courtesy. However, many AFLC drivers tend to dim their lights before it is necessary. Most states require about 500 feet between cars for the dimming operation. A quick "flick" is the safest way to remind an oncoming driver that his bright lights bother you. Longer exposure of your own "brights" may work in reverse and be detrimental to safety. The U.S. Department of Transportation has proposed major revisions of its motor vehicle standards. It would require new front, rear and side lighting systems by J975 with additional modifications by 1978. Nearly 100 per cent increase in headlight power has been suggested for driving on the interstate system. A three-bealighting system is recommended as an option for that headlights should be switched on whenever a vehicle is in motion, and dimmed headlights used in regular driving. Others say the lighting system should be a part of the ignition system for the same reason, and automatically turned on when the car is started. Other techniques of driving safety necessitate that you drive slower at night than during daylight hours; realize that pedestrians are a major hazard; keep instrument panel dim; use parking lights only while parking; keep windshield and headlights clean; and be careful of the oncoming driver. Simple courtesy goes a long way towards improved high- way safety. m cars using the interstate R special ThB msm limited-editio- ars kpp AS UCnS A4 ASS SUSy.' n.
