FAST DRIVING is MENACE
state Highway Department Warns
Against Fast Night Driving

Fast driving at night on winter
damaged highways is particularly
dangerous, according to the warn
ing sounded by Superintendent G.
g. REYNOLDS of the state police.
There is particular hazards to
night drivers from heaved or
broken spots in the roads caused
by the recent severe winter and
rain conditions. With vision con-
siderably lessened after dark, re-
duction Of car speed is the only
prudent thing, otherwise a section
Of washed out macadam or rails
ed bump in the road if hit with
sufficient force may throw the car
out of control and result in con-
siderable damage. The night speed
should be so restricted that the car
can be brought to a stop well with
in the length of the headlight
