Show Did you ever notice how some folks are always so polite . . . they tip their hats to the ladies and the ladies smile in return.. Most of the time, men let ladies go first through doorways, open car doors and in general play the part of a gentleman. The ladies in turn, act refined, keep their voices down, watch their table manners and, in general, act like ladies . . . BUT! Lei our gentleman or lady climb behind the wheel of an automobile and you have an entirely different situation! No more are they refined, and polite. The minute they get their hands on the steering wheel they are fighting, pushing, shoving, trying to beat! the other drivers to the light, crowding them out, cutting in front of J other cars, turning left in front of other cars at an intersection, bottling bottl-ing up traffic and in general, acting like the so-and-so's they Really are. .Why is it that people who are generally well-mannered are so ill-mannered ill-mannered when they climb into an automobile? According to national figures, many accidents could be prevented if more people showed more courtesy while driving. Not only do ill manners cause accidents, acci-dents, but they cause ill feelings with other drivers and make them want to "get back at someone" by doing the same. Good manners and good driving is like a smile . . it's infectuous ... So SMILE while you DRIVE! |
