ADVISE CAREFUL PRACTICES
in DRIVING CARS

The average mOtorist drives care
| fully because he has trained him
| self to do so. Safe driving means
more than keeping your eye on the
speedometer. There are circumstan-
ces where a 20 mile speed may
mean flirting with death. The eau
tiOus driver trains himself to know
these circumstances when he meets
them and to control his driving ac-
cOrdingly. The careful driver disci-
plines himself to look out for pos
sible skids, to proceed cautiously
around corners, not just because it
is the law but because his mind
grasps the fact that he may injure
others or himself by ignoring it. He
stays on his own side of the road
and keeps his mind on his one job
of driving He checks his machine
regularly in the interest of safety.
Brakes should be tested every day.
Before going half q block from the
garage make a service test by
throwing out the clutch and apply
ing the brakes. If possible, select
a dry spot for making this test. I'm
der no circumstance should the car
be taken farther if the brakes are
not working nroperly. Drive back
to the garage and see that the faults
are corrected before driving out
again. Once every 8 months re-
move the rear wheels and wash the
brake lining in kerosene This re-
moves all oil and grease which, if
present, takes the bite out of the
brakes. Never oil brake linging.
Many cars skid not only because of
slippery streets but also because of
unequal braking power Before you
start a car be sure you can stop it.
Many a good driver has had a bad
accident because his brakes did not
hold when he needed them most.
Test your brakes frequently--haYe
them adjusted whenever necessary.
Many a car runs off the road be-
cause the driver was blinded by
some other fellows headlights.
when your lights are not properly
focused they illuminate the tree
tops but not the road. Keep your
headlights focused properly. A car
with one light is an accident hazard.
The approaching motorist cannot
tell whether it is in the middle or
on the side of the road. If you cars
ry an extra bulb you won't often get
caught with one dark side. There is
focal adjuster ON every headlight.
This is usually a screw beside the
lead-in wires. Different lenses re-
quire different focal adjustments.
Car vibrations and frequent bumps
easily change the best adjustment.
Frequent tests and readiustments
are necessary. The headlight lens
may loosen and rotate in the frame.
Adjust and tighten them if neces-
sary. ReflectOrs need careful atten-
tion. Dents should be smoothed out.
Tarnished or rusted re1ectors
should be replaced or replated.
Remember the message that
Safety Sally" brings to you each
week. This week she emphasizes the
of checking brakes and
headlights frequently because she
realizes that once a year is not suf-
ficient. The Delaware Safety Coun-
ell says that the careful mOtorist is
as interested in checking the safety
Of his car as he is in checking its
performance.
