Mexice, Parents, Warned of Vacation Bicycle Dangers An upsurge in auto-bicycle mishaps and other traffic fatali ties involving children is gen erally to be expected at this time of the year, said W. W. Akers, Jr, president of the Motor Transportation Aasociation of! South Carolina, as he urged that all motorists join the trucking industry m being particularly alert for the remainder of the school term and throughout the summer. “Actually," he said, "drivers of the nation’s trucks always keep a wary eye on children, but the summer months are the most hazardous.” r Parents Can Help . Mr Akers directed his appea’ also to parents who, he said, can do more than anyone else to cut down the heart-breaking traffic accidents involving their young sters- He urged daily reminders, "stringent, if necessary,” be giv en to children against mid-block street crossings, riding bicycles on busy streets, and other such activities which invite accidents. He suggested that parents of bike-riding youngsters see that the bikes are in good riding con dition and that their children are instructed and understand the traffic regulations which apply to bike riders. Aduli Cyclists "Motorists,” Mr. Akers said, "must bear in mind also that the spring and summer months bring fourth thousands of adult cy clists, some of whom are less skilled in riding than children Hoist your ‘defensive driving* technique anytime you approach cyolists, young or old, and you will avoid a lot of grief,” he de clared. The trucking spokesman also reminded motorists that the fun damental rules of driving, such as adherence to traffic lights and road markings, slowing down at erasings and intersections, and keeping a car under Kill braking control at all times will go far to ward cutting the bicycle and pe destrian fatality toll. Speed Cause Of 47 Per Cent Of Traffic Deaths Can you save 45 minutes trav eling time on a, 100-mMe trip with out getting arrested for speeding? The answer may be yes if you have been accustomed to using good sense. But—is the time saved worth the risk and effort? In or der to save three quarters *of an hour on an approximate three to six-hour drive, you will have to push along at the top speeds that the law allows on throughways. If you decide to go the limit in this way, the Institute For Safer Living of the American Mutual Liability Insurance company hopes that you are able to put the time saved to good use, for in or der to save it you more than dou ble your chances of being delayed by a serious accident. Institute studies show that near ly 14,000 or 47 per cent of all highway accidents result from ac cidents that occur while traveling at or above top lawftil speed lim its. Checking a series of 100 and 200-mile auto trips under varying road and traffic conditions, the Institute finds that 45 minutes is about the ntost that a driver can gain by pressing at the maximum lawful speed, assuming that his normal average speed has been at the rate of 100-miles m three hours. Drivers cruising at a comfort able ten to fifteen miles per hour less than maximum limits reach their destination less than an hour later, even on a 200-mi4e trip, and under some traffic conditions ar rive within a few minutes of the "hurry-up” driver Why not think it over before starting that next out-of-town trip? If it is a matter nf life or death, then perhaps fast driving is your answer For anything less you’ll find that a more leisurely pace has this big advantage: You arrive at your destination more relaxed, free from strain and ten sion, and free ■from the guilty feel ing that you have gambled witn the lives of yourself and fellow passengers WE DO ALL KINDS OF PRUTTIlfG—EXCEPT BAD CHRONICLE PUB.
