Millions of motorists are suffering
for the sins OF the few. Fatalities in
relation to number of cars have been
cut in half in five years: but the total
number of automobiles is so great
that even a small fraction of reckless
drivers presents a serious problem.
Added to the harm OF the careless
driver is the reckless pedestrian. Po-
