Be prepared for an unexpected turn either right or left. Always expect the un-expected. It may help you avoid fatal surprises. Following Too Close Following too closely still rates number one on the "hit" parade of auto accident causes. The Utah Safety Council urges you to maintain a safe interval from the car ahead. That extra "cushion of safety" may save you from disaster when streets are slippery. Make It Easy Make it easy on the other guy when you're being passed. Slow down and move over to the right side of the road if it will help him get around you safely. The Utah Safety Coun-cil points out that helping the other guy in driving is not only good manners . . . it's the saf-est way to play the dangerous game of driving. pfttnmtf tow Srtnnu Published every Thursday at 1 1 South Main, Pleasant Grove Utah 84062 (Mailing address P.O.
