ing mountain roads you never get
TO see very far ahead. Downhill,
il often is possible TO pass safely,
but there is danger in building up
too much speed in your despera-
tion TO get around. Uphill, the
danger is miscalularion of the ac-
celebrating and overtaking rate,
which naturally is much slower
than on level highways. If driver

down. and let him around as quick

y, Don't drink. That's a good
idea anytime you are going TO drive,
but it's even luore important in the
mountains. The Intoxicating effect
of alcohol increases with altitude
And speaking of alcohol, it is no
good for your car, either. In the
thinner air of hlSb attitudes. alco-
hol boils easily. Use a non-alco
holic anti-freeze if the season
makes such protection advisable.

quently provided.
IL. In the thinner mountain air,
uphill driving on a warm day may
heat the motor enough to cause
vapor lock or radiator boil. VapOr
lock is due to high engine heat
causing gasoline in fuel lines and
fuel pump to vaporize, so that the
pump sucks on the bubbly liquid
with little effect. There is nothing
TO do but wait until it cools. poss-
IDLY hurrying things along by
wrapping a cloth soaked in cold
water around the fuel pump. The
radiator of modern cars shouldn't
boil if you are not using alcohol,
if the water level is checked every
morning. if the radiator cells are
not clogged with. bugs and dirt, and
if the fan belt is properly adjusted
to move the maximum amount of
air. Oyerheating results chiefly
from climbing in too high a gear.
Don't take il as an affront to your
cars performance If it strains in
high gear Shift--for pride gOeth
before a boiling radiator. If il
does boil, use extreme caution in
removing the cap. Shield your
hand with a rag and turn it
quarter turn, which allows steam
to escape without spraying boil
ing water.

vacuum wipers may slow down or
virtually quit on an upgrade, es-
pecially on older cars. There is
nothing to do but let up on the ac-
celeratof frequently to permit a
couple of awipes. Electric wipers
or vacuum wipers with boosters do
not present this difficulty.

13. Sudden weather changes can
be extremely dangerous in the
mountains especially in early
spring or late fall when unexpected
snowfall is a possibility. Fogs are
common, too, and require the ut
most caution.

rhe brakes should be adjusted and
balanced and the pedal should have
adequate reserve. The cooling sys-

Is. Plan every days trip to reach

Then the need to hurry won't tempt
you to drive too fast, you will avoid
the hazards of night driving, your

Some Causes Of !.
Auto Tragedies

Most auto drivers are accustom-
ed TO fiat terrain, gentle curves and
long sight distances, and as a re
suit sometimes have their vacation
travels end tragically on a steep
mountain curve.
Because mountain driving re-
quires special knowledge ana
skills, the National Safety Council
offers the following advice if you
plan to drive in the mountains:
/. One of the most frequent
causes of mountain mishaps is too
much downgrade. The average fiat
country driver has learned to sense
dangerous speed by vibration and
wind noise and to expect easy
curves. In the mountains, speed
may be too fast long before the
speedometer or the usual danger
signals give warning. Curves are
torturous compared to ordinary
roads. The inexperienced driver,
finding himself entering a curve
too fast, may brake too heavily and
throw himself into a skid, he may
oversteer in a PaEicky reaction to
the pull of centrifugal force, or he
may veer across the center line
into the path of oncoming cars.
2. Runaway speed can result
from wearing out the brakes. Us
ing engine compression to hold the
car by descending in a lower gear
is the only safe practice. Brakes.
when used, should be applied in
termittently. Constant application
builds up terrific heat which not
only wears brake bands, but may
expand the drums and even cause
the hydraulic fluid to boil. The
vapor bubbles then compress when
the brakes are applied, with loss of
positive action. If brakes get
mushy, stop and let them cool.
y. Never let your desire to save
gas lead you to coast downhill out
of gear. Forget about economy.
COasting is so dangerous it, is
against the law in many states.
4. For the same reason, don't
descend in overdrive. Incidentally,
il strains an engine to climb in
overdrice, so for mountain driving
IL is best not to use IL at all.
5. Many new cars have automatic
transmissions which provide less
engine compression in the normal
driving range than conventional
gears. On steep downgrades, the
control should be set in the Low"
position. Once you are rolling,
this will give engine compression
about equivalent to the regular sec
ond gear But change to Low" be-
fore you start down.
6. On the subject of automatic
transmissions, don't forget they
may creep when tive car is stopped
unless the control knob is set for
Parking" So in mountain park
ing lots or roadside turnouts, don't
leave the car to take that snap
shot unless the transmission con-
troll is on parking and the parking
brake is set.
z. Driving on the wrong side of
the road is one of the most COM
mon causes of mountain accidents.
This can result from too much
speed on curves or from passing on
upgrades. Sometimes it is from a
psychological fear of the drop -
nervous and inexperienced drivers
stay so far away from the edge of
the precipice that they take their
half in the middle.
s. Passing other vehicles on
mountain roads is a ticklish prop
osition and requires more self-con-
troll than the fiat-country driver
commonly exercises. The only rule
is-neyer take a chancel On wind
