According to Car Care Council of Canada, these are the points that should get attention: * * IGNITION SYSTEM -- You may be well advised to in- vest in a tune-up if you're nearing the 10,000 mile mark since the last time that work was done. This usually involves replace- ment of distributor points, condenser, and rotor plus spark plugs (and sometimes wiring).

For a fraction of a moment he is practically blind. It takes good wipers to clear away the obstruction as quickly as possible and restore safe visibility. Replace those worn wipers before poor winter weather sets in. CLINTON BODY & RADIATOR SHOP and you'll find winter driving isn't so bad after U.S, have come out with some facts on how a motor- ist's ability to drive is im- paired by long stretches behind the wheel. On the average, after four hours of driving, a motorist takes 20 per cent longer between corrections of the steering wheel. The automobile with a fatigued driver drifts more than twice as far from the center of the lane. If there is a blow-out- before the driver regains control, the car will swerve three times as far as when he is fresh and alert. Tests were made in a Cornell Aeronautical Lab- oratory (CAL) Inc. simu- lator in Buffalo, and are being followed up by over- the-road driving in actual • are for the U.S. Department of Transportation, The simulator puts the "driver" into conditions he'd actually find on the road with these conditions being controlled and set up by a computer. He "drives" by means of a steering wheel and accelerator and brake pedals. The value of rest pauses in long distance driving also acquired some support from the tests, says CAL's maga- zine, Research Trends, Each driver, after completing the four-hour stint, took a four- minute break, then returned to the driving simulator for a brief additional run, After the rest, drivers had accuracy equal to that at the end of their first hour of driving.
