National Safety Council
Failure to replace a defective bulb
in a headlight is not a step toward
economy, but is more apt to be a
costly measure of neglect, according
to Secretary of State Earl Snell.
Nearly 400 acicdents causing four
fatalities in Oregon last year in
volved automobiles driven after
dark with one or both headlights
out. It is reasonably to assume that
many of these accidents would not
have occurred if the headlights had
been up to standard.
Not only does the one-eyed"
driver expose himself to accident,
but he greatly increases the risk to
pedestrians who happen to be walk
ing along or crossing the road he is
traveling. Pedestrian safety at night
requires that headlights be kept up
to maximum efficiency, since it is
difficult enough for a driver to see
pedestrians in the road ahead of him
under the best conditions.
Nearly all trucking companies
have made spare headlight bulbs a
standard item of equipment, and one
concern in the east has gone so far
as to equip every truck with a com'
plete auxiliary lighting system op
erated off a separate battery, so
that in case of a failure in any part
of the regular system, there will be
no decrease in the truck's lighting
efficiency. This step was taken in
recognition of the great importance
played by proper lighting in safe
night driving.
