Show i It has become clear to everyone that the motor accident I toll in this country is not going to be cut down easily. It is, going to require education and it is also going to require! closer supervision of ability of drivers to drive. It is the height of folly to put into the hands of a person incapable of handling a moving vehicle at twenty miles an hour a machine that can make fifty and sixty and seventy miles an hour and expect them to escape accident. Some day when mounting-accident mounting-accident tolls compell us to, we are going to discover that Borne persons are not fitted, and never will be, to touch the wheel of a car. Many accidents could be prevented if the car driver involved was competent to handle a car in a pinch. Most anyone can herd a car along when there is nothing to hinder or prevent but when an emergency arises they are wholly unable to meet it. They become bewildered and are unable to act quickly and accidents occur. |
