Famed Speedway Racer Bergere Demonstrates Road Safety Lessons
The famed speedway driver Bergere, visiting Lubbock for a safety campaign, conducted a high speed street run and warned against reckless driving. Police compared his two runs with stopwatches, noting penalties for weaving, running red lights, and improper hand signals. Bergere, a veteran racer and stunt man, stresses that the highway is more dangerous than the track when drivers are careless. Lectures and a movie program are planned to promote safer driving practices.
