Today the .Chicago Motor club issued this advice to Illinois and Indiana motorists who are planning vacation trips to mountain areas this summer. Officials warned tha& ^ sightseeing motorists have a tendency to relax their caution at the steering wheel in order to enjoy scenery. They forget about the drivers behind and ahead of them. "When a driver wants to admire scudding clouds in a mountain pass he should pull his car off the road onto the shoulder or into one of the cleared parking areas provided for sightseers on mountain highways," i Chas. M. Hayes, president, pointed out. Hayes explained that motorists who drive at crawling speeds cause exasperation, impatience and delay to other motorists. Frequently a driver who is following a slow-moving sightseer wijj take unnecessary risks to pasq up the slow offender. Besides keeping to the Hgtyt side of the road when approaching , blind curves in mountain areas, the expert motorists knows how to use his brakes. He uses light, repeated pressure on the brake pedal and drives downhHlin a reduced gear. He never coasts down grades because many mountain grades are stee&er than they appear. If you're driving into the ffioun& tains this summer here are some hints to remember; 1. Hillcrests are highway hazards. Never overtake a car neat* the crest of a hill. . , 2. Don't let the oil level in ^our car fall too low in mountainous country as most oil pumps do not operate efficiently at a low oil level. When the oil l,evel is low the oil flows away from the pump intake when the car is climbing a steep grade.- 3. When going down a long, steep grade shift into a lower gear. Your engine will act as a brake and save wear on your foot brakes. ••• . 4. Don't drive too fast oa curves. All it takes is a hit of loose gravel and you'll be in a hopeless spin. " ' ' • !>. Wln-ii it's necessary to use your brakes, snub them gently in quick succession. Don't jam thpfi on,' jamming causes skids. V Male drivers in 1950 weftTInvolved in more than 90 percent of all U.
