Page 24, Whltby Free Pres, Wednesday, April 17, 199 LTTER: Increased speeds threaten drivers' lives To the. .dtors An open letter te Transportation Minister AI Palladini, and assistant MI>? Jerry Quellette Our highway and driving experts have always told us that speed kcilis. Now you, Mr. Transportation Minister, think it is okay to, bring the* speed limit from 100 ilometres per hour te 120. Even the Ontario Provincial Police do not think it ie a goed idea. I do flot drive a big Lincoln as yeu do, ?&.- Palladini. You are being chauffeured to Queen'e Park and yeu can sleep on the way there as you probably do. Meanwhile, gas companies are always picking MY pockets by their unreasonable price hikes. le thie why you want the 120-kIlometre-per-hour speed limit because you wiJl receive more gas revenue because cars will use more gas at those higher speeds? What do you e'xpect te gain from this? We have hundrede of un afe trucks on the highways, with worn-out brakes and rusty and looe wheel luge. We have lethargie, burned out truckers driving these unsafe rigs. Many lie about their long heurs in their log books te, make botter time. I just signed my son up for Young Drivers of Canada driving school. Mr. Palladini, you are net eetting a good ezample to our young drivers. You are playing Russian roulette with peoples lives. Police and ambulance aten anecn attest te this. They see the carnage on our busy overcrowded, pot-holed highwaysi cluttered with uneafe rips and speeding cars every day. It would be a good idea fer you te lieten te them firet before you do anything.

Most require that you oeil a central number, rather than, a local towmng company. If you diecover that your vehicle bas a problemi, itfs always better te describe the symptems rather than te diagnose the repair, especially if your car je newer and has computers. Once you've done your "epring sean" and taken care of any post- winter problems, your vehicle should ho ready for the nicer weather (at least until nxid- summer -. don't forget that three- month oil change). The only thing left now te te convince Mother Nature that a last-minute April blizzard isn't really necessary. 9 70years ago Jônas Amelotte didn't, know if a full house beat a flush.
