MacNab, Ontario Registrar of Motor Ve­ hicles points out. “They must be taught, learned and practised, “As wo investigate each new ■» fjvwmcut, it becomes more and more evident that too many of us are leaving our safe­ ty sense undeveloped. No one would think of going into the wilderness without preparation; we would be armed with appro-1 priate equipment and with as i much learned and practised skill m survival as possible. But ? many of us confidently travel I the streets and highways of the | sudden destruction would be dif­ ficult to duplicate in the wilder­ ness-indifferent to the demands ■ of judgment and experience. [ “By far the greater number! of drivers in accidents have one thing in common—complete sur­ prise that actions of theirs were the cause of the accident. Per- > haps they were doing something : for years without harm . . . a ’ matter of habit. But it finally caught up with them. “No man is likely Io ask an­ other to judge his driving. He is ’ convinced already that he is a good driver, if, not an excellent one. Last August, however, 9,402 ’good drivers’ became in­ volved in motor vehicle acci­ dents. Certainly they were not all to blame . . . but certainly, I a good many were. “And a good many of the ac- ’ cidents were the result of two 1 poor habits coming together at the same time. Neither habit had I ever been proved really bad in i the past, but just this time, one I poor habit met another poor habit 'head on. i “If you are accustomed to straying over the center line of the road from time to time, and I you meet someone else with the same habit, the result is an emergency which all too often turns into a catastrophe. And the common thought of both such drivers is that if the 'other-fel- low’ had moved over a bit, the accident wouldn't have occurred, “It is probably unreasonable- to expect every driver to make a study of accidents and their causes ... not the few causes that individual experience might suggest, but all the accidents and all causes. It would be a most unusual person who failed to develop a new modesty about his driving habits after such a study.
