The council estimates that an ad­ ditional 17,000 to32,000 may suffer , disabling injuries on the nation's roads. To help keep motorists safe dur­ ing the holiday weekend, which of­ ficially begins at 6 p.m. Wednes­ day, Nov. 21, and extends to mid­ night Sunday, Nov. 25, the council urges motorists to consider the following: If you drink, don't drive. Half of all motor-vehicle fatalities involve a drinking driver. Use the "designated driver" concept beginning with this holiday period and incorporate its use year-round at any social function where alcoholic beverages are served. Wear a safety belt and fasten children in child safety seats. The council estimates show that 12,000 to 15,000 people could be saved an­ nually if occupant restraints are utilized. Winterize your car by checking the brakes, fluid levels, tires, ex­ haust system, wipers and headlights before embarking on a long trip to visit friends or relatives. Use the "two-second" rule to allow adequate following distance between you and the vehicle ahead. After the vehicle in front passes a particular point in the road, count "a thousand and one, a thousand and two, etc." If you reach the landmark before a "thousand and two," increase your following distance.
