Twas a great mistake
To blow and. not brake.

The air turns blue, too, when a reckless Boy Blue turns up in crowded traffic! Other
motorists curse him—pedestrians fear him—and no wonder!
Speeding is the prime cause of accidents—it kills 10,000 persons a year. And remem
ber—50 miles an hour may be safe on good roads, on open highways—while 20 can
be dangerous in bad weather or heavy traffic. Speeding is driving too fast for conditions.
Drive as though your life depended upon it—it does!
