Good Judgment.

With the winter and the rainy sea-

driver should learn how to drive a car
on n slippery road. Being able to
handle car on wet pavement has
prevented many an accident.

a lack of education in manipulating
the steering wheel while on a slippery
road surface may result not only in
damaging the car, but in becoming in
jured.
liy way of explaining what the skid
really Is, II is also necessary TO make
known that there is another form
which Is known as the side-slip. To
be able to pull car out of n serious
skid 1t Is essential that the driver
know the difference between these
two

to the rear wheels, but In some cases
the front wheels have figured I'm this

Loosen Brake Pedal.
When in the throes of either a
side-slip or bad skid the first thing
to remember is to leave the brake
pedal free. Partly close the throttle,
but do not close entirely. as that
would be equivalent to applying the
brakes. Next turn wheels In direc-

This should right the car. one rea-

with caution. The clutch should be
released If there Is "A tendency for the

brakes and locking same. When this
takes place very frequently the rear

Motorists should never steer n ma

surface Is wet The reason for this
is simple. in that the grip OF tho

overcome the centrifugal effect. and
the result Is the rear OF tho EAR Is
