A little known traffic safety fact: Summer is the worst season for fatal and personal irijury accidents. More fatal and irjury accidents occur in June, Ju]y and August than in any other three month period of the year. Why? ronically, one of the reasons there are so many serious accidents in the summer is that so few people are aware of the potential dangers. A reaiity of summer driving is that there' are more inexperienoed drivers on the road. Summer is the most popular time for people of ail ages to learn to drive. There are also many part-tixne (seasonal) drivers who do not drive i the winter because of the poor weather and road conditions. Fatigue is another criticai factor.

You don't have to be snoring to be asleep at the wheel. It only takes an instant, a blink of an eye, to miss seeing a stop sign, a traffic signal turning red, or to sîlde across the centre line. Yet on any given night, many motoriats wilI be blinlicing their way down the highway, hoping to arrive safetly. Speed. Good weather and road conditions encourage higher speeds.

If you have only a few years of driving experienoe, don't pretend you're a Formula 1 instructor. Regardless of your experience, if you find yourselfcriticizing everyone else's driving but riot your own, think agaijn. We ail make mistakes. Good drivers see their own mistakes anid learri fr-om them. Bad drivers don't believe they make mistakes and therefore- neyer learri. Fatigue is a form of impairment.

It makes little difference to the occupants of the other vehicle whether you crossed the centrelinebecause you were drunk, or because you were tired. Recognize the potential hazard i other drivers.
