One-fourth of all fatal accidents on the highways of our country
and in the streets of our cities and towns are caused by speed. Reck
less drivers—disregarding all the laws of traffic safety and common
sense, urging onward automobiles catapulted by the power of a hun
dred horses—these were the prime killers in 1946.
Last year 33,500 persons—drivers, riders and pedestrians—died
in automobile accidents. That’s about one death every fifteen min
utes. More than a million were injured, many of them maimed or
crippled for life. This year the toll will be even greater, approaching
an all-time high of 40,000 deaths—un/eas you, Mr. and Mrs. Driver,
call off this daily rendezvous with Death.
You can do your part to help stop this highway’slaughter by
personally striving for an accident-free record. Drive carefully at all
times. Be considerate of other drivers and pedestrians. Gauge your
speed to highway conditions and traffic requirements.'
Don’t let Death hang over your shoulder and point the way to the
morgues Drive.safely—and live!
