called to our at attention attention attention at- at some Items that if Ir not heeded may make the trip disastrous or even fatal Our trip should be so 80 planned that It Is not necessary for us ue to unduly unduly unduly un un- un- un duly hurry When trips tripe are not planned planned planned plan plan- ned we are inclined to stay too long longsome longsome longsome some places and have to hurry home Under tinder these conditions good roads are a temptation for speeding Statistics show that when we drive too fast we are taking chances that may ruin an otherwise happy vacation We may not only spoil poil our own vacation I but bU if Ir our speed results in an Injury or t fatal accident the vacation will never be remembered with anything but sorrow sorroW sorrow sor sor- row and may cost many times the safe sare vacation cost coat If we drive within proper proper proper pro pro- per speed limits Its It is lor for u Uj ua to better enjoy our States State's beautiful scenery scenery scenery ery and more Important we will be obeying the traffic rules that are designed design desIgn- ed lor for our safety Few people seem to realize the chances they are taking when driving fast The following statistics may help I you to realize ahe serious consequences consequence Of the driver violations causing accidents accidents acci acci- 1 I dents in Utah In 1952 18 per cent were pre due to speed and In the case of fatal accidents 41 per cent were caused by ex excessive excessive excessive ex- ex speed The number of accidents resulting critically Increases very rapIdly rapIdly rap rap- Idly with Increasing speed Those re resulting resulting re re- suiting fatally at speeds of 60 mph and andover andover andover over are 17 times those at speeds below below below be be- low 60 mph In other words drivers goIng going go- go Ing over 60 mph are 17 times as likely to meet with an accident as a driver operating below this below this rate One thing that possibly contributed most to Salt Lake City having a much lower loner fatality rate than the State as a whole last year was its speed limit of 30 mph t tEven Even at the lower speeds there is one violation responsible for accidents that few people are aware of that of-that that is le driving too close to the car In front of you This violation was responsible last year for lor 20 per cent of the accidents In our state Even If your car is equipped with good brakes and the road surface is dry and your speed Is only 20 mph it may take more than a car length to bring your car to a stop From this it can be seen that at high speeds It is Ia even more Important to stay a reasonable distance from the car ahead If people in our State last year had heeded these two suggestions suggestions that that Is driving at reasonable reasonable reasonable rea rea- speeds and keeping a safe distance distance dis die tance Lance behind the car nearly half of the accidents would have been avoided Let us hope that heeding these two suggestions will make your vacation all that you want it to be t I o o o I DECENTRALIZATION T O OF I i II ItI BIG CITY department stores are going to have to fight a tough competitive battle
