Show Brakes Help Drivers Anti-Loc- k By Sgt Gary Whitney tage is that as long as the wheels con- tinue turning you can steer the car A locked up wheel can only slide straight ahead Consider an accident in September where the anti-loc- k brakes on a semi- truck saved the life of a Minnesota man The truck was tray- eling at 55 mph when the man Mad- vertently pulled out from an inter- section He saw the truck froze with fear and stopped broadside in front of the truck At that point there was approximately 100 feet before im- pact Its easy enough to figure out what was going to happen next when it takes more than 200 feet to stop a truck moving at that speed Because of anti-locbrakes the truck driver was able to brake and still steer to the right around the nose of the car The rear duals of the truck hit the car in the grill area but left the car driver uninjured The truck continued past the point of col- lision with the truck driver then able to steer away from a ditch and back onto the highway Although the truck rolled over at that point the driver was wearing a seat belt and survived with rib and vertebrae inju- - Utah Highway Patrol You're driving at 30 mph in a resi- dential area when another car cuts around a corner The other driver sees you hits his brakes and -tea- ee“- - a:I comes to a stop I aa tei directly in front ' You of you slam q eRe on your brakes ' ' the wheels lock ' a and skid 5 up you 11 Al Iinto the side of a a a -- a aaa the stopped car During the time between your ini- tial reaction and the impending crash everything seems to happen in slow motion You feel helpless as the car seems to float along beyond your control homing in on its target You push even harder on the brake pedal turn the steering wheel in another direction and yet the crash course seems inescapable But is it? With the help of technology it is possible to do something during those few lingering seconds before an automobile accident Anti-loc- k brakes allow you to steer a car away from a collision course Conventional braking systems lock up the wheels on a car when brakes are applied at full force Anti-loc- k braking systems allow the wheels to turn and at the same time provide even more braking power than do conventional systems The advan- -- - 2 a?-e ra-e- ae - --- saved a life It is difficult to perceive that a turning wheel can stop a vehicle as quickly as a wheel that is locked up and skidding on concrete or asphalt When a rubber tire slides on pavement it becomes hot and loses its ability to grip A turning wheel relies on the friction created by the brake pads and the pads dissipate heat better than rubber With less heat the ability to grip iicreases — and quicker stops can be made The combination of steering and shorter stopping distances make anti-loc- k brakes a safety bargain More accidents could be made into near misses and as in the case above serious accidents could be reduced to glancing blows Consider brakes on your ordering anti-loc- k next new car Safety Brief: — The General Accounting Office of the federal government released a report on "highway fatality trends" for the 1980s The number of fatal crashes happening on dry roads stands at 80 percent Roadways marked with yield signs showed increases in fatal crashes while roads with narrow bridges registered a decrease The number of women involved in fatal crashes over the decade increased by more than 20 percent But males are still overrepresented in fatal crashes accounting for 70 percent of all deaths k ries The crash investigator said that had the truck driver not been able to steer around the car he probably the car driver would have and killed him outright The investi- s gator was convinced that anti-lock- Farmington OKs Tax Break By Jay Drew Tribune Staff Writer FARMINGTON — Residents will pay $150 more per month for garbage collection and 50 cents more per month in sewer fees under the city's recently adopted fiscal 1990- 91 budget However the $129 million budget — approved by the City Council at a recent meeting — calls for a slight drop in property taxes The decrease means the owner of a $100000 home will pay approximately $850 less this year in property taxes The $9 to $1050 per month garbage rate hike is needed to offset a recent tipping fee increase at the county's burn plant city officials said And the $750 to $8 sewer rate increase will be used to cover losses incurred in the water department's operating fund over the past two years The garbage and sewer rate in r- - y ) Following ore announcements of community meetings and events provided to The Tribune's Focus Sections by the event sponsors Sponsors wishing to advertise program or event announcements free of charge can send a typewritten release to Community Corner cto The Salt toke Tribune PO Box 867 Solt Lake City Utah 84110 Deadline for releases is noon Thursday with announcements phnted the following Wednesday activities must submit releases Sponsors of once a month to continue publication RECREATION HEALTH Water Aerobics — Exercise and stay cool all summer at the Redwood outdoor pool 3060 Lester Way West Valley City on Monday ' Screenings are held every Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 4 pm at the Society office 661 S 200 East SUPPORT GROUPS Mothers Inc — YWCA 322 E 300 South is offering a chance for people new in town or people interested in meeting other mothers to 7 '1:: -': - :: ::::::: :i::717- ''-'4':-- k::4 ::: it ::::: ::':: :4 — ' ::--- 7:: - ' ' - I ei- f''''1 4 -- 1 i- dz A 1-- rr--1 -t 'i 1 :r i 4 ::''' - 7is ) ' - - :: t4 1 r- i :7 t'' - -- z7"'tgf1 ' ' ?:- :!: )011er 4: ::::: ::::::: :: - " 4' 44 - 4 MiNadli° - -- T le' ' 44 tliii::" 4) 7" !
