PLAN ADVANCED
Keep Foot Off Accelerator
on Turns, Advice

DETROIT. Dec. ss.--"Keep your
engine pulling" l. an instruction that
has proved fatal to many an autoist.
Many are now OF the opinion that
Il IS far safer 20 let the engine run
idle when hraklng than 90 try 10
keep Il pulling
New drivers have been taught "a
keep the engine pulling when round
ing a corner or desiring 60 change
|, TO a slower speed. by shutting down
the gas and applying the foot brake.
Thus the car Is slowed TO the same
speed as tho engine.
Frequently. enc reads OF auto accl.
dents. at IL thought the driver at.
tempted to apply the brake aud
struck the accelerator instead. Then
the crash came"
This recalls a striking case. A
man. considered a good driver. was
attempting 90 turn hts large touring
car into "A garage. Another car was
around As he put his foot out for the
accclerutor and his car leapcd thru
the garage doors.
The auto struck supporting post.
knocking IL out. The second floor
was let down on HIM with many
autos He was caught in the debris
and. In the ensuing fire. was burned
to crisp. while thousands OF dollars
In damage resulted.
This man was believer in the
,hcory Of keeping the engine pulling

When an autoist drives with the
acceierasor he must release n as soon
as he removes the clutch. Thus the
engine u permitted 10 run idle az n
low speed. while the car Is free from
the engine. when the aufofst reaches
for the foot brake. should he miss I,
and strike the aoceierator. he has
done no damage.

The main cause of skiddinx Of
rear wheels OF motor cars Is due TO

course. normally occurs only when
the roads are slippery.
An automobile wheel rosaie@ and
progresses over the highway In but
one direction or plane This dirsc-
ton for the rear wheels IL deter-
mined by the front wheels under
control of the driver. While the
rear wheels grip tho ground and ro-
tate they control the direction Of
the car. However. as soon az the
rear wheels are locked by tho
brakes they begin 20 slide. and as
they slide sidewine practically as
easily as forward. they lose the
power to direct the car.
n takes comparatively little brake
friction TO lock and slide rear
wheels on slippery roads because
there IL little friction between the
tire and the road surface when
