A good, capable driver is safe on any kind of a road. Should the road conditions be too bad a safe driver knows better and stays at home or will take the long way around. It is a posi tive known fact that most au tomobile accidents result from every day plain recklessness, and the deliberate taking of chances. Very often ignorance and inex perience are to be blamed. What are the qualifications of a safe driver? A good driver should be able to act quickly and reliably in emergencies, and better still, he should know how to avoid emergencies. He must be sober, even temper and not easily confused by traffic around him. He must know the law. He must not. be a gambler when human lives are at stake . k. t-: h -;vti u e - a DEATH IS HIS rLAYMATE . . .
