The Right Way to Drive

time a driver becomes aware
of the necessity to stop and
the actual beginning of his
motions to stop the car. Then
there is another interval be-
fore the car actually stops"
If we can merely get young
drivers to apply the rules of
everyday courtesy, the rest is
easy" observes Thomas G.
Bennett. teacher at Coolidge
and Mckinley High Schools.
AS he tells his students: "Hu-
man beings are strange. If I
go into a mans home he
treats me with perfect cour-
tcsy and hospitality. When he
gets behind the wheel of a
car he barrels down the road
and splashes mud over me
and thinks nothing of it,"
Mr.. Bennett believes that
mental upset can seriously
affect driving capacity.
1T often happens that peo-
pie become disturbed or wor-
ried over something, get in
their car and Immediately
proceed to get into an acci-
dent" he says.
If a person is upset he
shouldn't drive until he is re-
laxed. However, too often he
doesn't realize the extent of
his emotional disturbance,
which prevents him from
thinking and planning ahead.

Innate in almost every
