SAFETY CHECKS
• EFFECTIVE • •
What is known as ''s a f et y
checks" by Provincial Police officers
are becoming more frequent. As far
as the motbrist is concerned it is a
simple operation. At any time he is
liable to be stoppe4 on the open
highway by the provincial men; The
important safety features tut his car
are -checked to make sure that
rakes, lights, horn, rear-view mir-
ror, etc, are 'all up to standard.
In addition to providing a hazard
for the vehicle which is not fit to be
operated on the public roads, driv
ers are boning increasingly aware
that they must at all times be alert
and fully capable of passing such a
test. Knolving that they may be
stopped at any time certainly- should
tend to make most car operator
keenly constious of their responsibil-
ity when they are behind the wheel.
