Safety Hlpts By Jim Edjsr Secretary of State Driving in "rush hour" traffic is a harrowing daily experience for motorists in many Illinois cities. You may think if you drive bumper-to-bumper to and from work that these are the most dangerous times of the day to be operating a motor vehicle. But if you do, you're enly half right Statistics show that the peak times for fatal Oc­ cidents are between 5 and 9 p.m. and 2 to 5 a.m., when drivers should be par-v ticularly alert and careful. Late afternoon and early evening rush hours are especially hazardous during dark winter months, for motorists and pedestrians alike. Rain, spow and sleet are added risks. The high fatality rate during early morning hours is caused primarily by drinking and sleepy drivers. Light traffic on streets and roads encourages unsafe speeds. These hours are 50 percent more dangerous during winter months. Morning rush hour traffic tween 7 and 10 is not as perilous because drivers are more rested and visibility is better. (A copy of the Rules of the Road wil be sent to you upon request. Write to Jim Edgar, Secretary of State, Springfield, 111. 62756.)
