WHY DO WE—
Forget to slow down at schools and other places where children are likely to dart out on the street! Forget to shift into second gear before passing over a railway crossing? Fail to remember that accidents are due to losing control of the car and losing control of ourselves? Not always keep to the left of the road, particularly on curves and over the crest of hills? Follow another car too closely and take chances on the driver stopping without warning? Not always observe the speed laws and forget that “Haste is waste”? “Steady but sure” is the best motto. Sometimes forgot the pedestrian is entitled to consideration at road intersections? Know that safety first should be our motto, yet we take unnecessary risks! Forget to check the air pressure in the tyres when we know tyre economy depends upon keeping the tyres properly inflated.
