No. 9— COUNTRY DRIVING
x discussing saaiCEs we ipoke of our cars as transportation systems . . .
our own private railroads, so to speak, with home for our terminal.
As a rule we engineers behind the steering wheel work only on local
runs . . . back and forth from the office, stores, and
the rest of our regular stops. But every now and then,
and especially when vacation time rolls around, we're
likely to want to change our run. And one fine day
there we are, out on the main line, at the throttle of
our “Overland Limited," if you please.
Railroads put only their best engineers on impor
tant runs like that.
What the railroad men mean by the best engineer,
is the one who has taken his train out and brought it
in, time after time, year after year, without a thing
to regret. Now there's one thing about this engineer
that explains his good record better than anything
else. He believes in signs. All along the way there
are signals that tell him what to do, and he does
exactly what they say. When a semaphore says slow down, he slows down.
Whenever he gets the sign of a curve or grade, he adjusts his speed accord
ingly. Every red and green and amber light that
comes winking through the darkness mean* a definite
order that he'd never dream of ignoring. And when
a flare warns him of danger, he just stops until he
gets the go-ahead. Now, when we pull out of our
station and on to the mam track, if we are good
engineers we'll take good heed of our signals as they
come flashing by—“Curve,” "Steep Hill.” red light—
"Stop.” But along comes one that say* "Intersection,”
and there doesn't happen to be any car passing on
that other road. Or one that says "School, go slow”
and there aren’t any children about. Or "Slippery
w’hen we*,” but today the road is dry. And what’s
the result? Why, a good many of us get to taking those
signals with a grain of salt, and. after a while with
so much salt that if we aren't careful those warnings may lose their meaning.
It isn't hard to imagine what would happen if the railroad engineer got into
that habit. He wouldn't be an engineer very long. No
matter how many times his warnings prove unneces
sary, he still goes on accepting them as gospel truth.
And people who drive thousands of miles every year
tell us they have trained themselves to the very same
habits as the engineers. We can just as easily form
one habit as the
other, and it pays
to form the habit of
automatically act
ing on the advice
of our roadside
signs.
So it isn’t enough
just to have our
engine in good shape, and to watch our
fuel and oil, or even to follow the rule
of not driving too many hours at a
stretch. Those things are highly important,
but it is just as important to watch for
our signals and follow them religiously.
Then we can look forward to sending
back that evcr-welcome message—“ Arrived safe after pleasant trip."
