DON’T ACT SUDDENLY
A good rule for driving is: “Don't do anything suddenly.’’ This goes for stopping, backing changing direction, crossing railway tracks and approaching street intersections. Most accidents are caused by one’s haste, his too sudden action of some sort. Crashes between cars are almost always caused by one driver’s sudden decision to do something other than he has been doing. He suddenly decides to turn or to pass another vehicle, or to stop or to increase speed, or simply to go ahead. The driver approaching or coming up from behind has no time to adopt his actions to the sudden decision of the first, and in a Hash the accident has happened. If automobile dealers, generally. in teaching customers to drive or in other contacts with them, would Emphasise the necessity for deliberate and watchful changes in the driving of every car, it would help cut down the accident toll.
