Show LEGITIMATE USE OF CHAINS Many Drivers Find Ways of Overdoing Things and Get in Habit of Driving Too Fast. Chains have their legitimate use, but as usual drivers find ways of overcoming over-coming It. The latest Is the habit of driving too fast. Even the chain manufacturers man-ufacturers don't advertise that their articles will guarantee motorists against accidents, but drivers seem to have a notion that the chains justify greater speed. As a matter of fact, the chains simply make the normal speed of the car for wet weather safe. If 15 to 20 miles an hour is the limit for wet weather driving the chains will make this speed practically safe. But if the driver clips off 30 miles per hour or over he must remember that in event of need for a quick stop conditions con-ditions are about the same as though he were caught going 20 miles per hour without chain protection. Too much confidence In chains Is like getting careless with the gasoline just becnuse there's a fire extinguisher In the car. |
