STEERING GEAR HORN REAR-VISION MIRROR WINDSHIELD WIPER TIRES LIGHTS FOm YOUR SAFETY Every known facility for safe operation and control of an automobile is built into it. These safety features have been given gruelling tests, they have been proved and perfected by years of the finest engineering experience. But their maintenance and handling are up to you. Safe driving depends upon the efficient operation of these factors. Watch your steering gear for excessive play—keep your brakes in trim, inspect tires for weaknesses that may result in blowouts. Be sure all lights are working, “one-eyed” cars are dangerous. Check your mirror for clear rear-vision. Be sure your homeworks — but don’t abuse its use. .Do your windshield wipers wipe? Remember, no matter how good the safety features'of your car—they are only as good as your ability to control them. If you are overtired from driving strain—stop, rest, drink a cup of coffee. If you are mentally or nervously upset, let someone else drive. If you’ve been drinking, stay off the road. Keep your car—and yourself—always in condition for safe motoring.
