Vice. Chairman Willis M. Tate Issues Public
 Statement on Safety

Anticipation of situations before they develop. is the secret of acci- dent-free motoring, declared Willis M. Tate, vice-chairman of the edu- cational work of the Waterbury Citizens Traffic Safety Committee, in Q statement issued this morning. He declared that after an emer- gency has arrived, it is then too late to avoid injury or damage. MT. Tate said:
 Every person who operates a motor vehicle has . serious re- sponsibility not only for his own safety but for that of his passen- gers, his family and every other user of the highway. In order that you may discover your driv- ing error, we have prepared a questionnaire, by which you can check your driving habits and as- certain how they can be im- proved. "
 Remember that you are the other driver to someone else, and perhaps he Is right when he in- sists that 1t was the other drivers fault. MT. Tate contin- ued: At cay rate, each one of us Is primarily responsible for his own manner of operating an au- tomobile and, if each one drives more safely, the aggregate result will be decided lessening of highway accidents.
 Watch Carefully
 "The secret Ss accident free motoring is to anticipate situa- tiOns before they develop. Learn where the danger spots are and watch carefully as you approach them. After an emergency has developed, 1t is often too late to avert . collision. For no one acts instantly and even after you have begun to apply the brakes, your car will so Q considerable distance, depending on the effl- ciency of the brakes, the condi- ton Of the tires, the road sur- face and your speed.
 There are really just three types of drivers; those who CAUSE accidents, those who are sometimes INVOLVED in acci- dents not of their own making and those who AVOID acci- dents", MT. Tate declared. We should all strive to be cIassed with the third group,--the extra good drivers who know how to sidestep trouble.
 sThe following questions re- veal the principal forms of high way ,carelessness. Besides being useful as . test of your own pro- liclency In safe driving, they may we'll be discussed with the other members of ycur family, 50 that, for their own safety and the safety of others, they too may learn the rules of courteous and careful driving, = and observe them.
