GETS BLAME FOR
AUTO ACCIDENTS
Austin. Tex. OI.R) The
mil reason for a nation-wide
increase in traffic accidents
which has followed the end of
the war Is that you and all the
other people who nursed the old
family bus through the war
years have forgotten how to
drive.
Take it from Col. Homer Gar
rison, director of the Texas De
partment of Highway Snfcty.
He says you've lost a lot of
traffic Judgment and that your
driving has deteriorated just
like your prewar car.
Lost Speed Judgment
Garrison and his staff, study
ing a 54 per cent Increase in
highway deaths, Injuries and
accident damage which follow
ed the end of gasoline rationing,
say that bad tires, bad brakes
and wornout, war-weary cars
aren't the major cause.
"The real blame should be
placed on the postwar driver."
said Col. Garrison. "Most driv
ers spent the war driving around
in circles in their home town.
They drove slow, because they
had to, and they've forgotten
llow to Judge speeds, how to
tell how soon an approaching
car will reach you, and how to
handle a car at high speed on
the highway."
Two new menaces have been
added to postwar highways and
they're partly responsible for
the booming American traffic
death rate, according to the
Texas experts.
Little Chance to Learn
These are returning service
men who haven't been behind
the wheel of a passenger car
for years and youngsters who
grew up during the war and
didn't learn to drive like their
big brothers and sisters did be
cause Daddy couldn't spare the
gasoline or the tires during
rationing.
"These youngsters learned
what little they know about
driving on city streets." said
Garrison. "They don't know a
thing about open highway driv
ing. Couple them with wornout
cars, poor tires and bad brakes
and you've got trouble."
Garrison says next summer
will see the postwar trnffic toll
at its peak. There will be full
tanks of gas to go with those
flapping retreads and the safest
place will be home until people
get new cars and learn how to
handle them.
