Show Motorists Urged to Use More Caution at Turns Dr. Arnold H. Kegel, health commissioner commis-sioner of Chicago, declares a large percentage of pedestrian-vehicle accidents acci-dents result from "thoughtless right-hand right-hand turning" on the part of drivers. Urging motorists to exercise more caution when turning at street intersections, inter-sections, he said: "A person starting across the street and walking in the same direction you are driving has his back to you as you approach the corner where you are going to turn. Even if that person sees you he does not realize you are going to turn right until you are very close. Surprise and panic and fright all combine to confuse him. "Have your car under such positive control that you can avoid an accident regardless of what that person does. Children, especially are being Injured, crippled and killed because some cars are not fully under control while making mak-ing right-hand turns." |
