Safe Driving Practiced by Autoists

Indiana has motorists who have driven an average of 143,000 miles in the last ten years without a single traffic accident or violation of the motor laws, offering convincing evidence that safe driving is practised daily hy the great majority of operat ors : 3

This statement was made by J. P. . Hutchens, pßecretary-manager of the Fort Wayne Motor Club, on the basis of an analysis of first returns in applicationg for safe driver ratings in connection with the first national safe drver motorcade. This safety activity is being sponsored by the motor club in co-operation with the American Aufomobfle Association and the C. I. T. Safety Foundation. Mr. Hutchens declared tha: ihe safe driver selected for Indiana by impartial judges be named, will he one of forty-nine to be selected from each state and the District of Colum bia for an all-expense trip to New York and participation in a two-day accident clinfe. :

“Applicatioé\qre now b ing widely distributed,” “he added, fand are available to all motorists. The closing date for these applications has been set for July 15. The entrance rules are gimple. All entrants must be active drivers who have been driving for at least tem years. They must have a record that will show rot a single accident in that period. And they must not have been convicted of any traffic violation. Forfeiture of bail or collaterai or the dropping or indefinite postponement of a traffic case is considered as a conviction, making the applicant ineligible.” The A. A A. club executive said that an analysis of early applications from virtually every state indicates that the average applicants has driven considerably more than 150,000 miles in the last ten years, without an accident or traffic violation. T “Motorists should not hesitate to enter because of low milzage,” he continued, “and the accidencr and court records will he equally ag important in consideration of ratings for final gelection of safe drivers.”

Generally, they are in a hurry to get the service. “This is the time for building a home and I see by the papers that all over the country the procession has started after many years of delay. There is a home shortage 'most everywhere. While the building business was at a standstill, plenty of people married and started new families.
