Cor Pools Pose Extra Driving Care "Who' driving today?" is a question of increasing urgency this winter as more and more drivers are forming car pools to try to cope with the fuel crisis. But an even more basic question, according to a nationally known race driver, should be, "Who is driving when roads are snow-clogged or ice-slick from a winter storm?" According to Tom Abbott, a Detroit road course drive who also conducts per­ formance driving classes for police officers, extra passengers in your car pose a special problem for any driver. First, extra passengers mean the driver must be more responsible for all those riding with him. « Second, the extra weight of do so. Registrar is Franks the passengers in the car may Hromec and his address is 1611 N. Pleasant. All persons 18 years of age and older are eligible to register and to vote.

"Race drivers must drive on the brink of disaster," Abbott commented; "but there's no reason why a pool car driver can't practice a few common sense precautions to help get himself and his passengers through without driving on the brink of disaster." Abbott cited the following tips, supported by research conducted by the National Safety Council's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards: 1. With aN your passengers aboard, and pefore you get out in traffic, get a feel for the road surface so that you know just w much or how little traction isNavailable, and how your car wil\handle. - Tocfo this, Abbott explained, gently apply the brakes or accelerate in spurts to find out when the wheels slip or spin, when they do, slow down and do all maneuvering with a gentle, delicate touch. 2. Always remember that braking distances on glare ice may be as much as nine or ten times the distance you would expect on dry pavement. That means, according to Abbott, that in spite of to- or from-work traffic you must increase your following distances proportionally. "No matter what kind of race we may be in," Abbott added, "as good competition drivers we must always be aware of even the slightest change in the ability of our tires to grip the track's surface. The same is true of the passenger car driver who wants to protect himself and those riding with him. "Top-flight professional drivers use every legitimate aid to get the best bite between their tires and the track's surface," Abbott added. "You can, too, on winter-slick roads." Snow tires, studded tires where legal, and reinforced tire chains will help you get there and back, Abbott recom­ mended, but added this war­ ning: "Even with the best traction aids, far slower than normal speeds are essential when the going gets slippery. Slow and easy is the secret. "When you're the driver, remember that your passengers are depending on you!"
