Vriien drivers should be par

are liH)good condition. Have them
checkad over and adjusted the mo-
ment they do not stop the car per

to be applied with such abnormal
effort. Sometiv;s a man may be
able to use poor brakes because of
the extra pressure he can exert on
the pedal. When a woman drive:
the brakes should be operating
perfectly and she will have better
