to the State Traffic Safety Division
of the State Department.
Persons unfamiliar with the op
eration of motor vehicles often fail
to judge correctly the speed of ap-
proaching vehicles and often they
underestimate the distance neces-
sary to bring the approaching car
t6 a stop. As a result, these pedes
trians sometimes walk into the path
of oncoming ears, believing they
have adequate time to cross in saf
ety, and are struck.

Hundreds Trained
The state driver-training program
sponsored by the Secretary of
State’s office, is training hundreds
of persons to drive motor vehicles
and this program is helping reduce
the pedestrian fatalities caused by
lack of familiarity with the opera-
tion of cars, it is believed.
“Every pedestrian who does not
drive should remember that his
judgment of the speed of approach
ing cars may not be dependable,”
Safety Division officials declare.
“They also should remember that
cars cannot stop on a dime, espec
ially on wet pavement. So when
cars are approaching, wait on the
curb, don’t walk out into the path
of an oncoming car that may not
be able to avoid hitting you.”
