What the Council is talking about involves keeping your fists firmly on the steering wheel. They aren't encouraging the use of boxing gloves. The Council has started a vast "defensive driving" program aimed at teaching every driver how to stay alive no matter what others of our 90- million drivers do. "It's sort of like a Red Cross life-saving course," explains Harry Porter Jr., manager of the Council's traffic department: It's an eight-hour course, and it is designed to teach drivers what "defensive positions" to hold in six specific situations: when another vehicle is in front, behind, on the right, on the left, when another driver is trying to pass, and when the driver himself is trying to pass. . Students taking the course are also advised to: --Know and obey all traffic rules; - Stay alert at all times for illegal acts ar.d driving errors by other drivers; --Ad just your driving to unusual or changing conditions. The course also builds drivers' confidence in their ability to drive safely and avoid preventable accidents. So far, industry and other driver-training programs have taken a big interest in the Council's course, Porter says. If you want more information about the program; write to "Driver's Seat" c/o this newspaper. Gruff talk usually reveals gravel in the brain. Force in the new air mobility concept.
