Phone 6.9228, When your boy or girl is old enough to take the wheel of the family car, their chances of becoming a safe driver are three times better today than a few years ago if tl.cy have had the opportunity of becoming a high school-trained driver. Last year nearly 700,000 students more than one out of every three eligible! were enrolled in driver training courses given by 8,000 high schools. Th,ere is hope that in the not too distant future every boy and girl will receive driver education before taking the wheel. How is it working? In one state, a check of 800 trained and 800 untrained drivers after a year's experience revealed that only 100 of the trained ones had run afoul of the law in accidents, violations and warnings. Of the 800 untrained, 769 had some kind of black mark against them. Other state reports confirm this progress through driver education. Here lies one of the most encouraging answers toward reducing the tragic death and Injury toll on our highways. If your community's schools give driver training courses be sure your children enroll before they attempt to drive. If not, find out why your schools do not participate in this vitally needed life-saving training. The cost of driver education to the community is small the reward great.
