MR. & MRS. BASIL CAPES of Toronto joyfully embrace their children. The
couple were returning from a trip on which only their seat-belts stood
between them and almost certain death.
ONE 3vitt SEAT 11111ELTS
Teret8 do /Arlie. E.vcape. Certain lie,tsith
TORONTO-Basil Capes and his
wife Lillian left their West Tor-
onto home for a routine drive to
Brockville. Their farewell to their
children was casual.
Four hours later, at 5.50 p.m.
that snowy January afternoon,
death stalked them, and was cheat-
ed only by a couple of yards of
webbing -- the seatbelts in their
ea r.
Mr. Capes had driven' for 170
miles before stopping near Nep-
tune for a tea break. It was 5:30
p.m.' The weather was bad, and
the darkening ribbon of Highway
2 covered with black ice which at
Sines completely obscured the
white dividing line.
Driving snow covered the wind-
shield and reduced visibility to al-
most nil. Before starting off again
on the last lap' of their journey
Mr. Capes instinctively tightened
and checked his wife's scatbelt,
and his own.
Beyond Napance Mr. Capes was
able to go back to Highway 401,
and the prospect before them
looked brighter.
"Back to 401 .. . .", he thought,
"back to the divided highway.
Driving conditions will be better."
In spite of the fact that he was
an expert driver he had fallen in-
to the common human error of
assuming the obvious. In this area
'Highway 401 is not a divided
highway.
At 5:50 p.m. Mr. Capes saw
the headlights of an approaching
vehicle, In the false security of
his belief that the median strip
separated the oncoming lanes he
proceeded to overtake a truck and
crossed the white dividing line
which was completely obscured by
black ice.
It was not until the approaching
vehicle was almost upon him that
he realized he was driving in the
oncoming lane. Mr. Capes remem-
bers swerving violently in an effort
to regain, his position behind the
truck. He also remembers missing
the oncoming vehicle by inches!
His car failed to hold the road.
In spite of new snow tires, the,
car skidded broadside along the
ice, hit a snow bank, rolled over
several times, skidded oa its roof,
and rolled back onto its wheels-
ironically facing in the right direc-
tion!
The rear end was badly thisnag
ed, and the front passetigeti door
had been torn away. Mrs. Capes'
handbag was scattered across the
road, and only her seatbek kept
Mrs. Capes from being deform
into the road and crushed by the
falling car.
The couple were held firmly in
their seats until the car came So
rest.
Releasing their seatbeits, they
stepped out unharmed accept for
a few bruises.
Later they completed their jour-
ney to Brockville by taxi, little the
worse for the alarming experience.
Looking back Mr. Capes recalls
their sensation of alternately hang-ing in mid-air and being pressed
hard against the seat as the car
turned over and over.
"I felt this just couldn't be hap-
pening to me-that after 20 years
of safe driving I could have com-
mitted such an error," he said. 'It
ju'st didn't occur to me that High-
way 401 was not a divided high-
way at that point."
This one error would probably
have cost both their lives and or-
phaned their three children, had,
they not taken the precautionary
measure of securing their seatbelts.
Needless to say, Mr. Capes,
backed by his first-hand exper-
ience. is having no difficulty in
pert wading his friends and club
members to not only instal, but
to use their own atiatbella,
