SECTION 2 - PAGE 4 - PLA1NDEALER - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 10,1980 Winter Driving Special Small Car Hazards The trend to downsize the cars we drive is causing concern among national traffic safety authorities. The Highway Safety Research institute at the University of Michigan reports that when a lighter car collides with a heavier car or truck, it stops very abruptly! Therefore, other things being equal, oc­ cupants of the lighter car face a higher probability of being injured - often fatally. In fact, a recent report by the National Highway Traffic Safety ad­ ministration states, "An examination of statistics of crashes in which sub- compacts collided with full- sized cars found that the occupants of the subcompact vehicles were eight times more likely to be killed than the occupants of the full- sized vehicles." Another agency, the National Highway Safety Advisory committee, enumerates the following problems associated with the new and smaller vehicles: ...Reduced car size lowers the driver's eye height. Visibility is thereby reduced at hillcrests, intersections or by roadside sight ob­ structions. ...Concrete barriers designed to guide straying vehicles safely back onto the roadway may cause smaller cars to flip over, increasing the severity of the crash. ...Sign ptots and lamps designed to break away in crashes may not perform as designed when struck by lower, lighter cars. ...Car and truck bumpers may actually be too high or too low to do any good in crashes between the dif­ ferent size vehicles. Now, a new perspective has been added by another traffic safety authority - Douglas M. Fergusson, vice- president for traffic for the National Safety Council and 1 rector of safety services, in a national insurance company. In addition to tt <?se posts, Fergusson has served as chairman of the ouncil's Committee on Winter Driving Hazards so he has had first-hand ex­ perience in the Council's 'Winter test programs at Stevens Point, Wis. FerguSson contends: "While the economy and gas saving benefits of downsized cars is an established fact, the added hazards of Winter driving - reduced visibility and inadequate traction - create a new dimension to the special problems associated with smaller cars." Fergusson referred to one special small car problem based on findings from one of the Council's test programs. When trying to get started from a stop on Winter slick road surfaces, the smaller, lighter cars have a notable difficulty getting back into motion. This is particularly true at warmer ice tem­ peratures or when ice has become highly polished, such as at intersections. Chances are increased of being rear-ended by vehicles that can get started quicker. However, there is a plus factor: Stopping distances on ice for compact and subcompact cars can be as much as 25 lENTRMSQiWC the professional do-it-yourself carpet cleaning system Firsf Hour of Rental $1.00 per hour . . . fori ©very hour thereafter.

RTE. 120, McHENRY, ILL. I percent shorter than for a full size vehicle In short, the heavier the vehicle, the longer the distance required to slide to a stop. This relationship between vehicle weight and locked- wheel stopping distances on ice is at odds with the reported behavior of vehicles on either wet or dry pavements; but in the case of vehicles on glare ice, the difference has been well established. However, the Council's tests have also shown that braking distances on glare ice may easily extend to as much as ten times the normal, dry pavement distance. Even with the help of traction aids on your car ~ tire chains or studs (where permitted) - far slower than normal speeds, along with far longer gaps between your vehicle and a car ahead, are essential. Fergusson concluded with the following common-sense suggestions for coping with adverse conditions regar­ dless of the size car you drive: 1. Get the "feel" of the road by' accelerating carefully to see if wheels spin; or brake gently to see if they skid. Reduce speed accordingly." 2. Increase your following distance. It takes three to nine times as far to stop on snow and ice as on dry pavement. 3. "Pump" your brakes to slow or stop - don't jam them on. An intermittent pumping action keeps the wheels rolling and helps maintain steering control. 4. Have good tires with good treads. Better yet, use snow tires which provide half again as much pulling power in snow as regular tires. Studded snow tires (where permitted) offer still more help on icy surfaces. 5. Always carry reinforced tire chains in the trunk of your car for use during severe snow and ice con­ ditions. They provide four to seven times as much trac­ tion on snow or ice as regular tires. 6. Keep your windshield and windows clear at all times. Replace streaking wiper blades gone dead from exposure to sun, wind and oily road film. Be sure that your windshield washer solution contains adequate anti-freeze. Goodwill Service Extends To McHenry Smile Tells It All "Let me off at Broadway," the burdensome lady instructed the bus driver. "Certainly," he replied patiently. Every block or two thereafter, the woman loudly reminded the driver not to forget to let her off at Broad­ way. She finally demanded, "How will I know when we get to Broadway?" "By the smile on my face, lady," sighed the driver. Goodwill Industries local representative, Mrs. Nick (Agnes) Adams, has an­ nounced that the Goodwill Abilities center has this year, to date, served 629 handicapped men and women in a rehabilitation program of work evaluation and job training. Community donations of clothing, household ap­ pliances, tools, toys, make work training stations possible, stated Mrs. Adams. The Goodwill truck will be in McHenry Dec. 12 and 26.
