The defensive driver makes allowance for _ these -highway -culprits. He avoids accidents by anticipating and allowing for the -hazards cre­ ated by the unsafe acts of others and by adverse traffic and weath- 'but it’s a well-known term to er conditions.” Constable 'Zimmerman asks every driver in -Exeter and dist­ rict to check himself to -see wheth­ er lie is driving defensively. The defensive driver -can answer “yes” to all the following -questions: ©0 you drive so that you are never surprised by the actions of .other mqitorists or pedestrians? At intersections do you make sure no one is approaching from your right or lo-tt though- you may have the right-of-way? Do you constantly check your rear-view mirror to see what’s happening behind you? Do you watch out for pedest­ rians even (though they may be crossing against the light? Do you keep a sharp eye out for oncoming cars that might sud- denly make left turns in front of you? On slippery pavement do you check your braking to see (how much traction you have in case you must make an emergency stop? In short, you are a d»f©»sive diriyer when you drive for ithe other fellow as well as for your­ self. On s-© pay and every other day of the year be your brother’s keeper by driving safely and do­ ing your part to stop accidents.
