Show Winter Driving Methods Are Cited in Bulletin "Keep warm and be safe," says the touring and transportation board of the American Automobile association in a special bulletin issued from headquarters head-quarters as a warning to motorists planning extensive winter tours throughout sections of the country where winter driving Is becoming the rule rather than the exception. The A. A. A. board points out that carelessness in cold weather driving is largely the result of being cold, "Keep as warm as possible when touring tour-ing in cold weather, and it will be easier to observe the simple rules of caution," It urges. "These should include suitable clothing, cloth-ing, particularly warm gloves," says the bulletin. "Too many drivers are handicapped by numb fingers during their winter trips so that if they are called upon to recrank the motor In an emergency, dim the headlights or shift gears they are at a loss. "It is foolhardy to attempt to make great mileage without sufficient stopovers stop-overs for hot food. It requires more energy to fight the elements In winter, and drivers cannot afford to feel that because they are stimulated by the snappy air they can endure more strenuous stren-uous driving. v "Keeping warm is the first rule ol keeping safe in cold weather. Closed cars are proving their value In this connection, but even here the motorist must take the definite precautions agp.inst subjecting himself to unnecessary unneces-sary exposure, and thus to unnecessary unneces-sary hazards." |
