Local Mon Dies
(Greater Detroit Safety Council)
It was an obituary that really
set you thinking: "Local man,
age 36, dies 15 years after auto
accident in which he was totally
disabled," •
Fifteen years of staring at
the same ceiling; 180 months of
Complete dependence upon
others; 780 weeks of hope -
erosion, with expenses towering
to crowd everything else off the
skyline; 5,475 days of waiting
for the night; 5,475 nights wait-
ing for the day; 131,400 hours
of four walls, fading flowers,
medical smells, useless sym-
pathy; 7;884,000 minutes of
vegetation with roots withering
in hopelessness, spirit shrink-
ing in stagnation; 473,040,000
seconds of death before burial.
And probably because of some
"little" fault that you might be
committing every day of your
driving life. Such as failure to
glance left and right, or for-
getting to check your rear-view
mirror. Squeezing one more
trip out of bald tires. Crowd-
ing the car ahead. Leaning on
luck in a blind spot. Try to
average 60 on a 50 -mph road,
or in 50 -mph conditions. Or
just plain, blind assumption that
the other driver will do the
right thing.
Death at 36 after 15 years of
dying! Within that period of
time a man usually marries, has
a family, climbs upward in the
world, travels, plays, begins to
mature, enjoys a million sights,
and sounds.
Over these same 15 years,
this man was a castaway on a
lonely ,bed -island. He absorbed
tasteless food, slept a desperate
sleep, suffered, cursed, cried,
felt the bitterness wind his in-
sides into knots at such ordin-
ary sounds as laughter, free
footsteps and hearty talk.
For every person who dies in
traffic smash-ups, many others
spend agonizing weeks, months,
lifetimes of disability.
You risk this as well as a
quick ending when you commit
those "little" driving errors.
Do you realize this? Do you
know what errors are yours,
and what you must do to cor-
rect them?
