This may surprise you. statistics show that more than 98 percent of last year's fatal traffic accidents were caused by drivers with at least one year's experience. Learning how to drive is relatively easy. The mechanics of driving become second nature soon after a student "solos". At this critical point, attitudes begin to take over. The super caution of the beginner is (diluted by an ever-Increasing confidence based on experience. And, with too many drivers, caution lis ultimately replaced by indifference, rsreleBsness. * The skill of experience can sometimes get you out of trouble on the highway. But the chances are your over-confidence, your indifference got you into the trouble in the first place. The moral Is clear and urgent. Those of us who are experienced drivgr* must also be humble drivers. YOU FAMILY I STRIKE BACK-* GIVE TO CONQUER CANCER AMtlllCAM CAMCSR SOCMTV LILY LAKE X LILYMOOR Jobie) Attention Uly Lakeri!
