Motorists Are Urged
to Drive Slowly and
Prevent Accidents

MI. Dwight Ravens, President
of the Nebraska motorists to a
dept as their slogan. Il drive
safely!"
Twenty-six men, and women,
and childras lost their lives on
Nebraska's highways during the
month of June, 1947. This number
is the fourth highest number of
fatalities recorded since fatality
records have been kept.
In properties to the number of
miles driven in the country, fewer
accidents have been had by drivers
of trucks and buses employed In
the daily transport of freight and
passengers then are charged to
the general run of motor-vehicle
operators. This places an addit-
tional responsibility upon the
shoulders of Nebraska motorists
to attempt to obey all traffic laws
and maintain reasonable speeds
while driving on he highways.
With the anticipation of enjoyable
vacations, Nebraska motorists
must plan for safety on the high
ways. In this connection, Captain
Sanders ef the State Highway
Parol points out that the best
speed for drivers o maintain on
the highways is moderate speed.
Driving too slowly causes traffic
to pile up behind thus leading
some drivers to take chances in
passing and will sometimes cause
as many serious accidents as driv-
ing too fast. Nebraskans are re-
minded that, 'Precaution precedes
prevention; danger prevails when
caution falls
