Fast, Powerful Automobiles
May Increase Accidents
The manufacture of faster and
more powerful automobiles in
recent years may have something
to do with the increase in high
way accidents but it is not the
primary factor, according to
many college students.
In a recent nationwide poll the
Associated Collegiate Press found
that students definitely feel that
“drivers, not cars, are respon
sible for auto accidents.”
Students participating in the
poll were asked the following
question:
“It has been charged that the
yearly competition among auto
mobile manufacturers for fastei
and more powerful automobiles
is responsible for the increasing
highway accident .toll. Do you
agree, disagree or are you un
decided ?”
The answers showed a definite
disagreement with the charge.
Sixty-six percent of those polled
disagreed while only 24 percent
went along with the change. Ten
percent were undecided.
Men had even stronger feeling
' in the matter than women, as
71 percent of the males queried
were in disagreement while 60
percent of the women feft the
same way.
A senior coed from the Univer
sity of Minnesota seemed to ex
press the general feeling of the
group when she said, “Speed
causes most accidents. The ego
j tist behind the wheel tries to
i show off.”
