Speed Maniac Hitting
High On Good Roads
Smooth Highways Are Lure To
Fast Driving; Accidents
More Frequent

Speeding lure on broad, smooth,
straightway sections of the Mime
sofa trunk highway system is rum
ing up accident totals with the rail
road grade crossings, sharp turns
and other dangerous sections which
are being made safe as rapidly as
possible, says the current bulletin OF
the state highway department.
The better the road, the greater
is their inclination to overcome safe
ty and to speed" said John Mullen
chief highway engineer, "Eliminat-
ing railroad grade crossings, clearing
and widening curves, building guard
rails and in other ways, the state is
working to make trunk routes 100
Der cent safe. But careful driving is
the first essential to highway safety
as is shown by the large number OF
accidents where the road conditions
are nearly perfect"
The Frazee Press cites an example
and points the moral.
The Detroit Frazee highway is too
good, at least for some drivers, and
it proved to be that for driver of
a service truck last Friday when he
lost control of his car and plunged of
a small grade just east of Detroit,
thinning up his truck and receiving
a bad injury to his leg when he was
thrown against stump.
Something went wrong with the
car-sure thing. No harm comes from
fast driving-until something goes
wrong.
There is usually something wrong
with the bean Of guy who is al
ways stepping on 'er" Another ac-
cident? Too bad" and the speed ma
MAC is on his way, hitting 'er up
forty or fifty Per.
