The total collisions for 1934 a r e r e p o r t e d as having reached the high mark of 880,- 000, with an avgr- , age of one person . J'pjured ip every collision, and ^one death in every 30 collisions. ^ b o u t' one-half of these accidents occurred on week-ends, usually on Saturday and Sunday. When we examine into the causes of this wholesale slaughter of human life, we ask, "Who's to blame?" It is strikingly 'significant that of the 880,000 collisions, a very small number was due to any fault in the. mechanism of the car. Seldom does' the steering apparatus! go wrong, which is about the only thing' that could cause a serious accident except a blown-out tire, which may be due not so much to a defect in the tire, as the overtime service which it is forced, to render. The tragedy of it all Is that probably all of these deaths and accidents could have been avoided. The conditions under which they occurred were all under human control. Among the causes are the blinding effects of approaching cars carrying too brilliant lights. A small amount of consideration for the other fellow would eliminate this. The refusal of farm vehicles to carry a red light is another cause. If every farmer would see to It that all his nonmotor-driven vehicles are equipped with tail lights, he wOuld render a very distinct service to the touring public. Just a little consideration is all that is needed. Trying to beat,a red light Is another cause for theife accidents. Seldom do circumstances demand such, risks. Thoughtful consideration for'the safety of others would eliminate this hazard. Speed, while perilous in itself, Is by no means the cause of all accidents; perhaps not the majority of them. The public thoroughfare was never intended for a race track. "Evidently the enactment of laws does not prevent accidents. Not more legislation, but more courteous consideration for the safety of other people will go a long way In eliminating this annual slaughter of human life. ©, Western Newspaper Union.
