The number of people killed and
injured has grown to appalling pro
portions. Though goodly number of
the accidents is unavoidable on
streets and roads never intended to
handle the huge high-speed traffic of
today, nevertheless the bulk of the
accidents is directly traceable to the
sped mania and the recklessness of
a comparatively small percentage of
the drivers.
Can these reckless drivers be curb
ed? We believe that it is possible
If the careful motorists will cooper
ate. In future issues we shall take
up this subject in greater detail.
The bulk of the traffic on streets
and highways consists of compara-
lively light passenger cars driven by
their owners for non-commercial
purposes. The bulk of the taxes and
fees for road building and mainten-
ance is paid by these owners, yet the
greatest damage to the roads built
and rpaired with their money is in
fficted by heavy solid-tired trucks
operated for profit. A hundred
ordinary touring cars do not and can
not damage a modern highway as
much as one mammoth truck carry
ing a ten-ton load, but almost no
where does this truck pay for the
damage it inficts on the pavement
built with the money of the hundred
tOuring-car owners.
And when these owners scurry al
most into the ditch to avoid a COLI
sion with the screeching twenty
passenger stage careening down the
highway, all they can do is to let off
steam by emitting impotent curses.
Yet there is a remedy which we
shall present in coming lessons
