Holiday traffic deaths harder to predict now
Colonel Wilson FE Speir director of the Texas DPS said changing travel patterns from the energy shortage make valid estimates of holiday traffic deaths impossible. He hopes deaths stay below last year’s 1.5 daily Christmas average and 18.5 daily New Year average, but warns high speed differences could raise fatalities. Speir urges safe driving, no drinking, and notes fuel worries, spare gasoline containers, and intensified patrols during Dec 21–25 and Dec 28–Jan 1, 1974.
