One of the deficiencies in driving
ability most often encountered in
examining drivers is inability to start
on a hill without slipping backward,
according to word from the traffic
safety division of the secretary of
state's office. Drivers were urged
to practice this feat in order to
avoid possible accidents. During
April 46 accidents occurred on hills,
many of them due to inability to
handle a car on a steep grade.
tatistics may be dry, but so are
the road surfaces in most of Ore
gon's traffic accidents, disclosed in
a bulletin from the office of the
secretary of state. During the month
of April, 68 per cent of the traffic
crashes in the state occurred on dry
roads and 66 per cent of all fatal
accidents occurred on dry surfaces.
