Practically two-thirds of the
automobile accidents which hap­
pened in this country in 1933
were due in some degree to driv­
ing errors. Among these, exceed­
ing the speed limit resulted in
the greatest number of deaths.
Although the number of accidents
from this cause accounted for
about one-quarter of all the mis­
haps which involved improper mo­
toring practices, the fatalities
comprised
approximately one-
third of all the deaths resulting
from driving errors. Such is the
hazard of excessive speed.
Four-Fifths of Deaths
Speed too gTeat for the condi­
tions is regarded as a potent fac­
tor in the accidents involving im­
proper passing, failure to grant
the right-iof-way, driving olf the
roadway, and reckless operation.
The number of accidents from
these causes and exceeding the
speed limit comprised approxi­
mately three-quarters of all the
mishaps which in 1933 may be
assigned to driving errors. The
■deaths from these accidents total­
ed nearly four-fifths of all the
fatalities resulting from improper
actions of motorists.
In accidents involving excessive
speeds, operation on the wrong
side of the road, passing standing
street cars, going off roadways,
and reckless driving, the rate of
death per accident last year was
greater than the average death
rate for all accidents due to im­
proper driving practices. The rate
of death per accident involving
excessive speed was 28 per cent
greater than the average; operat­
ing on the wrong side of the
road, 6 per cent greater; passing
standing street car, nearly 2 per
cent greater; going off roadways,
58 per cent greater, and reckless
driving 37 per cent greater than
the average.
With rates of speed in city
traffic as well as on the open
road being raised constantly, the
