WINTER DRIVING One sure sign that it's winter is the sharp increase lu the numb- er of people wearing awkard neck casts, in most cases evidence of Whiplash injuries 'suffered in rear-, end collisiOns. The Canada Safety Connell says maintaining, a -..proper following distance no Matter how inconven- ient this may be and maintaining it speed geared to the conditions will preVent these accidents. 'They won't, Canada Safey Council. `tests demonstrated, 'although they improve traction on snow. Stud- ded tires reduce the stopping dist- ance, especially in glare ice con- ditions, 'lint can engender over- confidence because not all cars have studs so .winntit stop in such a short distance: A correct following distance give the driver time to stop With- out hitting the car ahead or being • struck by the. car behind in both • normal driving and when the car ahead makes an unexpected move. The driver needs plenty of room its which to maneuver in winter driving, especially When the'visi- bility is poor. • . In dry .surface driving con- ditions the correct folldWing dis- tance is one vehiole length for every 10 miles an hour. Or use the two second following distance formula..

Once they do get the feel, the main hazard is ever- confidence. As thaws take place through- out the winter, drivers get used mishing their speeds up to dry surface levels, This can lead to serious trouble because of the danger of quick, unesIpeCted changes in the road surface such as heaving or partially-hidden ice patch es. The general attitude of drivers (should include courtesy as, well as patience. Other drivers should be given the break, especially in 'neb- ulous. righ-of-way confrontations. A driver could end up being dead right. • Winter driving requires great attention to the problem of seeing and being seen. All windows should be cleared of snow, even if the driver has to stop in a snow- storm to clean them. Front and rear lights should be visible at all times. Because wint- er driviugg conditions are often drifty, ,windshield wipers should be maintained at the ready with the inclusien of anti-freeze solution. When snow drifing makes driv- ing impossible, motorists should wait it, out for snow ploughsl. But they should ensure there is' some air circulation to prevent gassing by carbon monoxide, the silent, odorless killer: It has been said that seine ssttt= dOrits drink at the foinitain of. kilewledge.
