excessive speed ignoring traffic signs or traffic officers passing on hills or curves and other miscellaneous dimwit dinwit dim wit violations tho the study finds that one or more of these offenses lenses ot Is involved in 40 per cent of all fatal accidents and is the principal cause of 32 per cent FOOLISH ACTIONS by adult P pedestrians edest rians crossing against traffie traffic signals crossing intersections diagonally crossing ci between intersections coming from behind parked cars and walking in the roadway in the same direction as traffic cause another 12 tier per cent of fatalities based on experience records of 1940 1947 and 1948 the study finds thus 44 per cent of our annual traffic death toll results from failures by drivers or pedestrians to use common sense bad

accident and an unknown number succeed second a considerable proportion of other violations such as reckless driving which are directly blamed for certain accidents would not be committed it the driver were fully sober and his judgement jud gement clear summary of our annual traffic toll of to deaths 44 per cent result from acts of 0 folly by motorists or pedestrians 15 per cent result from bad driving manners and at least 15 per cent from liquor total 74 percent per cent SNEEZER times michael had sneezed times and was still sneezing london london doctors sought frantically to bring soma
