Beware Bad Advice on Cold Weather
Driving; Experts Explode Myths
Any driver seeking advice
on winter car care usually can
find plenty — and much of it
is incorrect.
To help drivers steer clear
of bad winter driving advice,
automotive experts list the
following winter driving myths
and compare them with what
automotive engineers and fleet
operators say:
1. "An engine should idle
and warm up before the car
is driven, especially in cold
weather," Not so, say the ex-
perts. The best way to warm
up an engine to peak operat-
ing efficiency is to drive the
car easily. Just idling the en-
gine keeps the choke closed
longer.
2. "Pump the accelerator a
few times before using the
starter so the engine will start
the first time and prevent,
flooding." Pumping the accel-
erator more than once on cars
with automatic chokes may
flood the engine,
The proper method is to de-
press the pedal slightly, hold
it there and start the motor.
If the engine is flooded, a mo-
torist should floor the gas
pedal and hold it there while
he tries to start the engine. If
the engine doesn't start, wait
a few minutes and try again,
repeating this method every
few minutes until the car
starts,
3. "Power brakes make your
car safer; you can stop quick-
er." Not necessarily, says the
Allstate expert, Power brakes
make you stop with less effort,
but not in less distance,
They give some drivers a
false sense of security, be-
cause like power steering, they
don't give the driver enough
feel of the pavement. On wet
or icy pavement this is dan-
gerous,
4. "Cars don't need as much
maintenance as they used to."
Despite the improved oils and
lubricants developed by the
car manufacturers, drivers
still are advised to change
their oil more often under C.9:365-c•VsEz

The next time you're adding
water to your car's radiator,
take a close look at the color
of the coolant already in the
system, If it's rusty or dirty,
better have your service at-
tendant check your car's cool-
ing system,
Think About
Those Other
Five Cars
At least, five cars besides your
own should concern you while
driving.
They are the one ahead, the
one behind, the one approach-
ing in the opposing lane, the
one ready to enter from a side
street, and the one parked at
the curb.
Be prepared for any of them
to do anything without warn-
ing.
Driving requires that deci-
sions be made almost con-
stantly. Most traffic emergen-
cies must be recognized and
action taken in split seconds,
Drive ahead — try to decide in
advance what action is best at
any place for each emergency
that may arise.
Try to drive in such a way
that you have plenty of time
to make the right decision,
Don't crowd those split sec-
onds by crowding the traffic —
and your luck.
SIGNAL LANE CHANGES
Motorists usually signal their
intention to turn. But many
forget they should also signal
their intentions to change
lanes. Every turn should be
advertised in advance. And
when changing lanes, first
make sure no car is cruising
along in your blind spot.
Sunday visitor with Mr. 8,t Mrs.
John Brock, Kippen,
Mr. & Mrs. Herb Brown of
Toronto, Henry Brown of
Crediton and Eli Brown of
Exeter were Saturday visitors;
Mr. & Mrs. Clare Wright and
family of Sirncoe were Sunday
visitors with Amos Wright.
Mr. & Mrs. Fxed Bowdem
were Saturday evening visitors
with Mr, & Mrs. William Allison
and family, Ansa Craig,
You aro reminded of the
so al evening in the schoolroom
of 'the United Church Friday at
8:30 p.m. honouring Mrs.
Arthur McFalls who left recently
to reside at Glanworth.
Rusty, dirty-looking water
in the radiator could warn
that the radiator hose is darn-
aged and flaking, possibly
clogging the cooling system.
And radiator hose failure can
result in serious engine dam-
age.
Murky-looking water could
also signal that the radiator
cap probably is no longer hold-
ing its rated pressure. Again,
you'll not want to tempt fate
by allowing your car's sophis-
ticated engine to operate un-
der less than its recommended
pressure.
Or, it could be that the ther-
mestat is not opening at the
proper temperature—and this,
too, could lead to major engine
repair bills.
Rusty coolant is a warning
to you that something is wrong
in the cooling system, and the
whole system should quickly
be inspected.
TAKE TIME TO STOP
Plan every trip so you won't
have to force yourself or your
car. Take time to stop, stretch,
rest, have a snack. You'll be
more alert, more relaxed, and
more comfortable — and safer.

Keep Hard
Packages in
Car Trunk
Only a handful of profes-
sional athletes ever know the
terror of stopping a Bobby Hull
slap shot or ducking a high
inside fastball thrown by Bob
Gibson. Hull can shoot the
puck at about 100 miles per
hour and Gibson can throw a
hard one at about the same
speed.
But unless the average car
owner is careful, he could
learn of these experiences the
hard way.
Take the case of a one-
pound object carelessly stored
on the rear shelf of a farhily
car. It is traveling at the same
velocity of the car. Should the
package become dislodged it
would move in the same direc-
tion of the automobile.
The package weighs More
than twice as much as a puck
or baseball, so, when the car
is traveling at 50 miles per
hour, a dislodged package fly-
ing at a motorist's or passen-
ger's head is a potentially
lethal weapon.
The answer is a simple one,
Keep such packages stored in
the car's trunk or anywhere
away from the rear shelf.
People who live itt glass
houses shouldn't get stoned.
Then there was the high class
plumber who seder made house
calls.
This IS his second marriage.
1'Ie's been unlucky in both — his
first wife left him and this one
Won't.

City driving and winter
driving may require a driver
to change his oil more fre-
quently than his manual sug-

Regular servicing should in-
clude more than just required

Periodic inspections should be

shock absorbers, the under-
carriage and the exhaust sys-
tem, to name a few. Tires
should always be carefully in-
