Keeping mind on driving
will keep driver on road
Most of us like to think
that we are careful drivers.
And, we are, most of the
'time. Someacqidents harp-
pen to dters who are
usually quite careful, but
who may have their atten-
Jion distracted — even for
just a moment.
Here is a check list of
some of the most fre-
quently encountered dis-
tractions compiled by the
Canada Safety Council:
• Reaching for some-
thing in the glove com-
partment while driving.
Cure: Have everything
likely to be needed out of
glove compartment 'before
starting out, or,' pull off
the road and stop.
•. Trying to read a road
map while driving. Cure:
If driving on unfaniiliar
territory, first' find out
exactly where you are
from street names, high-
way signs, or other land-
marks. Then pull off the
road, find the location on
your map, and plot out
your next move.
• Trying to put on or
take off a coat or jacket
while driving. Cure: Stop
the car, out of traffic. How
many drivers have been
caught with one arm in a
coat when a traffic signal
turns green?
• Trying to locate an
object dropped on the car
floor. This hazard is
especially dangerous to
'smokers, who are aware
of fire dangers from a
fallen cigarette, or aware
of damage that can be
done to car seat or cloth-
ing. Cure: Stop the car, in
the case of a cigarette, as
quickly as safely possible.
Never try to solve this
problem while the car is
moving.
• Having clutter or gar-
bage on the car floor.
Cure: Always carry a gar-
bage collector for pop bot-
tles, soft drink cans, or
other items that can so
opportunity. Sometimes,
driving with windows open
can encourage insect to
leave — he's probably just
as" happy to be out of your":
car!
• Items on the dash.
Business papers that can
blow away, pencils, cray-
ons or pens that can dis-
appear down the defroster
vents, portable radios\ or
tape players that can fall,
and similar items should
never be kept on the dash
while driving.
• Storage over the sun
visor. Once again, the elas-
tic or whatever secures
items can break, causing
distractions, or your at-
tention can be momentar-
ily taken while trying to
retrieve an item from this
position. Cure: For both
of these last two items is
simple. Just don't do it.
There are other places
where items can be kept
safely.

• A bug or other insect
in the vehicle. This one
is prevalent in summer.
Cure: Either take the bite,
or stop the car at the first
Plug misfire
can kill 'cat'
Misfiring spark plugs
have long been known to
cause fuel waste . and ex-
cessive emissions. They
can now contribute to an-
other problem — a non-
functioning catalytic con-
verter.
When plugs misfire,
whether due to fouling,
ignition system Malfunc-
tion," or being just plain
worn out, heat in the cata-
lytic converters rises. The
converters, designed' to
change unburned hydro-
carbons and carbon mon-
oxide into harmless car-
bon dioxide and water,
normally operate at 900 to
1,500° F. (438 to 816 C),
However, should spark
plugs misfire severely, the
temperature can be raised
as high as 2,200° F., (1,200
C)., enough to melt the
catalytic agents in the
converter and render the
unit ineffective.
Therefore, spark plugs
should. be changed as part
of a rebilarly scheduled
tune-up.
