Safety ~ If you happen to run off the road into a ditch, have your alignment and suspension checked, advised the Ontario Trucking Association Safe- ty Council. Trucking professionals know that running off the road into a ditch might damage the alignment and suspension of your car. In adverse driving conditions, like winter, such mechanical problems are especial- ly dangerous, since chances of skid- ding on slippery surfaces are increased. Other tips, for motorists are con- tained in the pamphlet 'Sharing the Road with a Truck' which is available free of charge from the Ontario Trucking Association, 555 Dixon Road, Rexdale, Ontario, MOW 1H8 or by calling 416-249-7401. a
