WAK UP or die!
Nearly 20,000 people died in the dark—in the night-time traffic accidents in 1950. 1
Over 750,000 were injured in the hours from dusk to dawn. Last year these casualties
went still higher.
Night accidents are one of the greatest factors in the increasing highway death
toll. Fatigue, poor illumination, headlight glare, faulty vision, and the greater num
ber of dangerous drinking drivers at night are the major causes of this tragic nocturnal j
Another big factor—in both night and day-time fatalities—is “highway hyp
nosis.” On long drives over smooth, unending roads the steady hypnotic monotony
of humming wheels lulls drivers into a dangerous mental blank. Alertness gone, re
actions at a low ebb, the worst can happen—and does.
What do you do when you become drowsy while driving?
Safe drivers, recognizing the danger signal, pull off the road and relax. Per
haps they stop for a cup of coffee and stretch their legs, or let someone else take
the wheel. They know, as every good driver knows, that safety demands alert driv
ing, particularly <tt night when the killing rate per vehicle is as much as four times
greater in proportion to traffic volume than it is in the daytime.
When you are driving in a fog of fatigue—pull over! Wake up, or die!
