H er w heels stuck in the stre e t ca r track s and plowed the car head first into th e front of a heavy tow truck. It w as a bad sm ash-up b u t th e girl stepped out w ith only few scrapes and bum ps. The police officer who in v estig ated th e accident WTOte in his rep o rt: "In m y opinion, she escaped m ore serious in ju ry because of the safety b elt in th e car.” This was p ro bably th e first spontaneous and u n rehearsed accident in w hich a car safety b elt proved its w orth. T heir advantage, of course, is th a t they hold th e d riv er, and his p as sengers, tig h t in th e ir seats w hen the car stops suddenly, keep ing them aw ay from the w indshield, d ash -board and steering wheel. • M any safety organizations h ave sung the p raises of safety belts and som e police d ep a rtm en ts have had them in stalled in th eir cruisers. I t’s gloom y subject, b u t one w hich should be considered sanely and fran k ly . My feeling has been th at the safety belt in itself doesn’t p rev en t accidents and m ay, in fact, cause acci dents. Any device w hich m akes a cocksure d riv e r m ore cock sure, w hich v irtu ally assures a sm art aleck th at he can do an y th in g he w ants w ith o u t fear of being h u rt, is liable to p u t a new breed of m enace on to th e road. For my m oney, th e best safely devices are those w hich actu ally p rev en t accidents . . . a responsive engine, reliable steering and good brakes. These are th e factors th at get o ur closest atten tio n w hen a car comes on to o ur lot for resale. It is p a rt of o u r responsibility, we feel, to send cars onto the road th at are as safe as the best m echanics can m ake them .
