TonLht,~W ~ w r next wieek, you may b to 'îblamu.e for a trafflc accident. il, So, the odds are four to onle that' the cause will be a quirk of your personal- 1ty. It rnay be only a brief mental lapse that would be perfectly harmless in seine other situation. .ut while you're behind the wheel of a car that quirk can zlow your reaction, hamper your judgment or blind you to the dangers of the road. This is no ile conjecture on the part o! some armehair psy- ehologîst, but a fact wý,hieh bas been established by patient teams of the traffic authorities and psychiatrists, woxring to- gether in Ontario and some parts of the United States to uncover the basic causes o! traffie acci- dents. Ontario's investig-ators esti- mïate that as many as 80 percent of ail automobile accidents - which, ail told, 1<111 more than 3,000 Canadians 'annually - re- zuit from motorists' psychologi- cal quirks. Some of these are rmore than mere 4'quirls". In Chicago, authorities of the Psy- ehiatric Institute of the munici- pal court found that 40 percent of the city's traffic violators have ynental conditions serious enough to require psychiatric treaimlent. But it la net just the, serious mental cases that. these authori- tics are trying te detect and ether cure or rule off the road. Tht>' stress that each cf us L vtlnerable te miner mental up- sets which, on today's busy. high- ways, can be fatal. "'The worst guY of the lt," says Inspecter Albert Witts of the Ontario attorney-.aeneral'a department, "is the man whoý tel~ls hmselit es Rgood driver and has no quirks. Thi8 in the ver'> attitude whlch ma>' eventu- ally cause an accident" Dr. J. W. Lovett-Doust of! the Toronto Psye1hatric Hospital says itre la lno need ta feel ashamed et the occasional irritational act: "It mcrely proves you are a hu- man belng." But whcn even the inost inerstnblo mental lapse 13 likely to cause trouble or dah- as it 3 when yau &ST driving - "the Imnportant thing is to recognize it and try te do ë.omething &bout it."

Theyhad. While drivers with ac- iident-free records scored welU on personulity tests, twe-thirds of the bad drivers showed up. on the tests as anti-social, and all drivers with bad records were impulsive &nd immature. "Unrecoghized feelings cf ln- feriority or hostility may be comn- pensated for by a heavwy foot on the aceclerator," says Dr. E. J. Kellehér, director of Chicago's Psychiatrie Institute', which sub- jected trafic violators to exam*ý mnations simflar to, Dr. Tillm-an's London tests. Dr. Kelleher be- lieves that miotorists w,,ho drive recklessly and "violate traffic laws just for the thrill or sai- faction o! break-ing thcm" are often trying ta relie_em2î-otional tension A in nt al Violations are casdby ordinaýry quirks. De- iroit's Traffic Safety Clinie - asort of psych-iatrie court - found a hýigh proportion of men- tai misfits among 832 traffic vio- laasit examined. 0f these, oly 79 were people w,.ith no serions psychological problemrs. NinetY, othiers were feeble-mi nded or bordeý_rline; 154 were of lower than average intelligence; and atil the rernaining 509 were sul- ft'ring frorn such s;erlous mental afflictions as psyých oxeu rosis, senility, alcoholîssm, paranola, 'listurbed personality or schizo- phrenia. Thýe most aamn aspect o!f such findings is that there are presumably thousands uf people zcross CitaaWho are permit-. ted ta drive while tl eir poten- tially dangerous afflictioxni go undetected. "Some daýy" saiy>iCol. Ry noMds, ~"we hope to be able tô spot thet accident-prone- man when he applies for his lcense and take steps tLo improve his- tdriving." Ontario lias aiready maqde somne progress in this directién. Both the 4àpplicant for a license knd the troffic violator can be recquired te submnit a dectar's certificate attesting ta lis physi- (,al or mental health whenever hi-,abilit>' to drive la questioned b>' the llcensing authorities. These certif icates, alaxig vith the iman'!s drîving record (if an>'), aqre studied by a medical board whose members include a psychtatrist, at psychoIogist and a gener-al practitioner.
