Ignoring Few Simple Rules Will Make Motorist Just A Statistic By BRUCE BIOSSAT The National Safety council reports traffic fatalltlea for the first six months of 1M9 are the lowest in U. S. history for the num ber of miles traveled. But there is small solace In this fact For the actual death toll was 13,810, less than 1 per cent below the-13,910 recorded In the same period a year ago. Projected annually, the figures mean that the equivalent of the population of Miami Beach. ria., wm be wiped out in 1949. The Council has done a magni ficent job, of course. In keeping Americans constantly alert to the aanger oi motor travel on in creasingly burdened streets and highways. There is something brutally grim about the Council's accu racy in forecasting highway fa talities on big holiday weekends. A typical announcement may there will be 290 traffic deaths N 0 R G E InUiFm TVm AeeKeiieee I re)M risj Mmi4w Nerfe Meytejf fhM IW I BtrgSi's As?lt Serrtae . 120 S.

Inexorably, death will occur in numbers close to the predicted figure. No matter how strong the appeals for care- iui driving, tne fatalities will nap pen. Death will come to drivers who have passed road tests and to drivers who haven't. It will strike everywhere, but most heavily In the country's oig clusters of pop ulation ime new xorK ana Chi cago. It is abundantly evident now that mere warnings plus the slnv pie road tests prescribed by most states will not halt the carnage on the highways. What, if any thing, will check it? Wt suggest that motorists and all public and private agencies concerned with driving safely focus on three main points: First, present-day driving has certain inevitably explosive fac tors me speea ana maneuver ability of modern cars, the In adequacy of most thoroughfares on which tney travel, and the consequent continuing menace that unavoidable errors of hu man judgment will turn any nor mal traffic stream into a sham bles of death in an instant. Second, If the driver wants the best chance of averting a pos- sioiy ratal crasn, ne must recog nize the explosive situation by acting seriously and responsibly when he is behind th3 wheel. He can't ever relax fully. The mo ment he diverts his attention is the moment an accident is born. Third, the driver must not at any time assume that his fellow motorists is attending to busi ness the same as he. Anvone who has plied the country's highways for long knows the onlv safe as sumption is that the other driver will do the worst possible thing in a given case. He usually does. These lessons might sound a little commonplace. But if they could be well learned bv a ma jority of motorists we believe prospects are great that few driv ers would wind up as added dib its In the National Safety Coun cil's grim statistics.
