From childhood on, we humans seem to take naturally to shiny stuff 7-- but when we get old enough to see over a dashboard, a shiny ice-glaze on the road is no welcome sight! For a Pro driver, it's a warning. A leading insurance company defines a Pro as follows: He knows that you can't tell how slippery the road is from its look, alone. He tests it while starting out, by touching the brakes at slow speed. If he feeifc that tire chains are in order, he puts them on pronto -- because a Pro never depends on luck. He takes what is normally a safe following .distance, multiplies it by at least four -- and then drives consistently beihind this extra margin of safety. He drives with eyes and mind far . ahead of his front bumper, realizing that there is no such thing as a quick emergency stop on slick surfaces. He is on the double-alert when approaching the favorite hangouts for ice -- shaded sections of the road, bridges ' and culwrtir, intersection approaches, dips and valleys. He knows that winter clotJhing and cold wfeather tend to hang an anchor-drag onto physical reactions, so he "soups up" his ' alertness to compensate for the1' slow-down. He keeps a window partly o» pen, because he knOws that it lets in warning signals, as well as good fresh air to keep his mind and windshield clear. In these and other ways, the; Pro wisely rides oiit the winter, knowing that it's largely mind over slippery matter . . . and,1 confident that with the right actions and the right equipment, he'll roll on through into another wonderful ice-free spring. Differences of opinion "are this stimuli that lead to hMiest conclusions, if anybody wants*>to his: intellectually honest. iiiiiiiiiiiiKiiiiiKiiiuiinniminniniHnHiiiniifflHniv Shop at Home and SAVE! iiiuinniiuiniiiniiiitiiiniinuinunniiinimiiiniinimp McHenry represents a collection of people who believe that theiy* can get along better in life by working together.
