Vision habits -- Proper and continual eye-movement is of the utmost 'importance, because rouzh!y 90 per cent of your driv- ing actiors are based upon what you see -- or don't see. Your eyes should move about every two seconds to give you the fuil picture, and to keep you from falling into fixed, blank staring. Start your cye- moveiment from a high centre point, high enough to give you a broad view of the road ahead. From this centre point, move your eyes to one side and then back to centre; to the other side and then back to centre; to the rear-view mirror and then back to centre: and then repeat. With a little practice, you can make this eye-movement pat- tern a matter of habit and, as a result, you will always be aware Changes i tioVemicu: shoud of changes in the traffic situa- tien that affect you. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, December 14, 1965 3A 4. Sienaling e -- Signaling! 5. Sins I Space aie z so automatic that you will con- tinue to signal on an apparently deserted highway. If your sig- naling is not automatic, you may forget to signal when you need it most, when you are busy with other driving problems in heavy traffic. In addition to sig- naling turns, you should signal any other change in speed or direction that will affect other drivers. This includes: using a hand signal for slow-downs and stops in heavy traffic; sounding your horn and -- or blinking your lights before passing; sounding your horn when you enter the street from a blind alley or driveway; and sound- ing your horn before you back up. Automatic signaling not only warns other drivers of your plans, but also calls atten- tion to your presence. To avoid being hit, you must be seen -- make sure that you are. Raven eee Space and clearance = ar. COTeCuy, means 'maintaining gufficient clearance in all directions so that you have room enough to take defensive actions. The most frequent violation of this concept is tail-gating -- follow- ing another car too closely. When you tailgate, you place yourself in a trap that the lead driver may spring at any time. Proper spacing is keeping back at least one car length for every ten miles' per hour of speed. e.g., four car lengths at 40 miles per hour), with greater distance allowed if highway con- ditions are hazardous. If anoth- er driver moves into your clear- ance, drop back behind him. This may aggravate you, but a little aggravation is better than a rear-end pile up. Spacing your car also includes centering your car in your lane -- aiming high will help you space your car properly.

VEHICLE CARE Vehicle condition is one aspect of driving that some otherwise excellent drivers and car own- ers ignore or leave completely up te others. This is a serious mistake -- poorly maintained vehicles cannot be controlled properly, and a sudden vehicle failure can result in a disaster for even the best driver. 1. Mechanical inspection --To make sure that your car is kept in proper condition: (1) have the car inspected by a compe- tent mechanic every three to six months, depending upon the age of the car and its use; (2) be constantly on the alert for changes in the operation of. the vehicle, and have changes in- vestigated immediately; and (3) give your car a personal check every week or two, making sure See the . . 1966 @ CRUISER @ WAGONAIRE e DAYTONA e SPORTS SEDAN available at...
