Thus you must be more alert in the few months ahead to prevent automobile accidents Traffic accidents and deaths throughout the nation increase during the fall and winter months and I'm sure that you are fully aware of the increase in the counties of this vicinity. The traffic safety authorities are alarmed at the increase and are doing everything possible to stem the tide of highway deaths. However, the highways can be made safer only if each driver decides that he will not be responsible for an unsafe driving practice that may result in the death or injury of him sen. nis passengers, oiner drivers or pedestrians. Remember: 70 per cent of the fatalities in South Carolina occur in single-car accidents and thus are the direct responsibility of the drivers. Defensive driving is a good practice the year around. However, in the fall and winter, we must be even more alert because: 1. We are doing more driving during darkness. 2. The roads are wet more frequently and may be slippery. 3. There may be ice and snow which make drivine dangerous. 4. There is more fog at night and in the early morning hours. 5. The shoulders may be soft due to wet weather. A few winter driving tips may help you avoid trouble: 1. Winterize your car, and Hrintorivo i-fiiir flriitino II ) WUI UllVIII^ ICLir niques. 2. Have good tires. (Chains may be a big help if s n o w comes.) 3. Keep windshield and windows clear. 4. Get the feel of the road, and adjust your speed accordingly. 5. Follow at a safe distance. It takes farther to stop on ice and snow. 6. Slow down when visibility is poor.
