(Register-Guard photo's by Schillios, Wiltshire engravings ) "Know your safety-circle!" is an important lenon .taught Standard of Cali fornia driven . . . perhaps it can be helpful to you. Your safety-circle is the distance you need to meet an emergency situation a car stopping suddenly ahead, for example. Our drivers get a special test which tells them exactly how fast they react, but in general, it takes the average person a full second to see a hazard, think what to do and act. So, driving on a clear road, at 30 miles an hour, you should stay at least 7 car lengths behind the car ahead; when you drive 45 miles an hour, stay behind 13 car lengths. More than 3,000 Standard drivers have stddicd this and many other safety principles in our Driver Training Program, besides pass ing thorough visual examinations. Last year, they drove 41 million miles with an accident rate 60S lower than the national average for trucking fleets. "AN0A 01, , " '"ttr h .
