Safety Chief Issues Donts For Holiday Drivers And Pedestrians
Harrisburg, Dec 24. Daniel J. McCarthy, chief of the State Bureau of Safety, issues donts for motorists and pedestrians during the holiday period. Motorists should not speed, ensure brakes grip, use tire chains on snow and ice, take curves slowly, avoid passing on hills or curves, keep wipers and defroster working, descend steep icy hills in second gear, and brake gradually on ice. Pedestrians should not assume drivers will stop, avoid beating cars crossing streets, and walk cautiously on icy steps to avoid weeks of incapacitation.
