II DIDN'T SEE"

One of the most common
excuses offered by drivers on
their accident reports is this /:
I didn't see? One driver says.
Il didn't see the other vehicle
approaching until it was too
late" Another driver says, Il
didn't see the pedestrian until
too close to avoid hitting him."
And another driver pleads, 81

Perhaps the victims of these
mounting accidents didn't see
the other car or the person or
the train. But the real under
lying reason for the accidents
| probably is a plain case Of not
paying attention to the inn
ortant job Of driving.
Keeping an alert watch for
! changing road conditions is a
fundamental rule Of protecting
oneself on the highway. To
make it easier, and safer, for
drivers-the highway authori-
ties have posted road signs,
erected traffic signals and
painted markings. But these
signs alone cannot protect us
from the hidden dangers Turk
ing on the streets and high
! ways Of our state. No, it will
come only when the driver
himself will pay attention to
his driving instead Of listening
to his passengers or watching
the crop conditions along the
road, or allowing himself to
fall into a trance.
Modern conveniences and
monotony of the open road
may be one of the things that

false sense of safety. The long,
white lines on the pavement,
the soft music of the car radio
and the monotonous flat, level

when broken, may produce
dire results. A sudden honking
Of a horn, the sight Of a person
walking along the roadway, or
the realization that you are
driving on the wrong side Of
the road may suddenly jerk
you back to consciousness, but,
that may be just a half second
too late.
Yes, it's true that the driv-

ciple question still looms high
