STOP and WAIT when
school busses are taking on
or discharging passengers.

first time. Children will be crossing the streets,
walking along country joads, waiting for
school busses. Children are sometimes unpre

an emergency arises. PLEASE drive extra care

Follow These Rules For Safe Driving
. • ’>.•> It v ■- -
• Be doubly careful near schools or where
children play. Children don't realize the
danger and may take chances. That's why
you, the driver, must take extra care.
• Slow down. Speed is dangerous at any time
— doubly dangerous when visibility is cut
by rain, fog, or darkness.
• Keep lights and windshield wipers in good
condition during rainy or snowy weather.
You have to see danger to avoid it.
• Keep your car in top mechanical condition*
Use chains when roads are slippery.
• Obey traffic laws. Know the traffic laws
wherever you travel and don't break them.
• If you drive, don't drink — if you drink#
don't drive. Remember, death takes no holi
day.
• Be a courteous driver. Yield right-of-way#
even when it should be yours. It's better to
stay alive than to be dead right#
