In the Elevator South of Burlington Depot YOUR PATRONAGE SOLICITED PRICES RIGHT AH Kinds of Grain Bought and Sold ENARD LEACH, Manager Approach Intersections Cautiously! WHEN faced with a traffic condition which demands complete control of a motor vehicle, no driver should place himself in the position of operator of car No. 1. The minimum safe stopping distance at 20 miles per hodr is forty feet, and that distance would place vehicle No. 1 in the center of the street intersection. Inasmuch as his view is obstruc ted by traffic represented by cars No. 2 and No. 3, he not only endangers the occupants of cars No. 4 and No. 7, but his own life as well. Re member that the driver of car No. 1, if he drives safely, will not only drive his own car but cars No. 2, 3, 4 and 7 as well. Too much stress cannot be placed on ap proaching street intersections at a reasonable speed. It is a significant fact that 83% of all accidents involving motor vehicles occur at street intersections. Is it not logical then, to assume that this per cent could be reduced if drivers would use a little judgment? Why should any car operator drive blindly ahead to disaster when his vision is obstructed? There can be no question as to the liability involved should a collision occur. The driver of car No. 1 is, without doubt, one of the most dangerous and flagrant of law violators. Until this type of driver is educated as to the dangers con fronting him and other vehicular traffic, the death and injury toll cannot be reduced. It is squarely up to every car driver to approach intersections at a cautious and sane rate of speed. To disregard these words of warning is bound to result in a collision. Not only does the driver of car No. 1 have the re sponsibility to other vehicular traffic, but he must bear in mind also the right of pedestrians at established crossings. Thus the hazards at street intersections are doubled. In the in terest of safety, approach intersections at a rate of speed that will permit you to stop in a very short distance. (Copyright, 1937. P. L. Cummings, Des Moines, la.) Traffic Violations arc increasing daily—motor vehicle accidents also are greater as the speed mania grips the nation and carelessness in driving remains unchecked.
