SLOW DOWN AT NIGHT
More than half of all traffic deaths happen at night, even though
a lot less driving is done at night than during the d^y.
In an average year, the National Safety Council estimates that
the mileage death rate is two to three times as great at night as in day-light
hours.
The reasons should be apparent to everyone.
You can't see as well at night, and you must see danger to avoid
it.
Drivers try to maintain daytime speeds, yet even the best head-lights
illuminate only a fraction of daylight seeing distance.
Night driving is more likely to result in fatigue, sleepiness and
dulled alertness.
And night is the time for sociability which often means driving
after drinking.
So drive right and slow down at night. Figure the heavy odds
against you and don't gamble with your own life or the lives of others
who share the road with you, trusting in your common sense.
It does't take brains or skill to send an automobile hurtling through
a tunnel of blackness. It does take brains to soberly count the hazards
beyond the probing finge rs of the headlight beam, and skill to be ready
and under control for the emergency which rr-.-uy loom at any moment.
The Freeport Police Department urges all pedestrains to be ex-tra
careful of traffic between five and eight at night. And motorists -
drive right
