Show I High Speed Is Fearful Strain Upon Automobile Figure it out for yourself! Drive , '.') miles an hour for five hours and you make a trip 175 miles in length. Average 50 miles nn hour nnd you make' the same distance in three hours and one-half hut the saving of (hat hour and a half Is made as a fearful cost to the nervous system of the driver and to the passengers ns well. The strain on your motor car Increases In-creases in geometrical progression as the speed Increases in arithmetical progression. In other words, the j strain of driving a car at 40 miles an I hour Is four times the strain on the ! machine at 20 miles nn hour, nnd at 3(1 miles an hour the strain Is sixteen ' times as great ns at 20 miles nn hour, j The hazard of accident Increases ac-, ac-, cording to the same scale and n man j who proceeds at an average speed of I 10 tulles an hour Increases the danger I to himself and Ids passengers to a j point, thai makes the saving of time not worth the while. |
