WOMEN DRIVERS ARE SAFEST

The next time you feel like cuss-
ing out those awful women drivers,
just remember that pedestrians are
far safer when a woman is at the
wheel than when it is man. For,
according to the News Digest at
Rockefeller Center, and the New
York State Bureau of Motor Ve-
hicles, figures show that less than
two percent Of all drivers involved
in fatal pedestrian accidents, and
approximately four percent of the
drivers involved in non-fatal pedes-
trian accidents, were women.
