Trie committee is to meet at mutually satisfactory times but no less tban once every two montbs on the average.

'"Everd7 mishap sbould be reviewe, and steps taken' to determine the cause of error. The next time we may be able to avoid repeating the same mistake."' So advises Con- stable Gary Brunton of the Newcastle O.P.P. He spoke to the Rotary Club last, week about Defensive Driving and had an important message for every motorist. Constable Brunton pointed out that with rare exceptions, most accidents are the resuit of driver error. He explained that the concept of Defensive Driving represenÏts a three step approach to the driving task, and when these are applied by the operat or of the vehicle, accidents can be prevented. Simply, the driver must see the bazard, under-, stand and apply the appro- priate defence for what might happen, and act in time to preveht a mishap. According to the principles of Defensive Driving, there are several conditions that we should consider before getting behind the wheel -, ligbt, weather, road surface, traffic load, and most important, our own mental, physical and emotional well being. 1In conjunction with bis speech to the club members, Constable Brunton showed a film called "Skill Takes the Wheel" which provided màny -useful tips, that are flot generally known. For exam- pie, tbough placing extra weight in the trunk of a car improve' starts in slippery winter conditions, it may cause steering problems after the car has accelerated. The film advised tbat wben negotiating a left hand turn, the driver should keep bis wbeels straigbt until he starts the car in motion, if by chance his vebicle is bit from the rear, tbe car will go straight ahead rather thani into the patb of oncoming traffic.
