Postwar Driving Tough for Jeep Drivers at College
Amos E L Neyhart of Pennsylvania State College argues ex servicemen must be trained for civilian driving after the war. He cites heavy two way traffic unsited parking space and personal concern for the vehicle as major differences from Army driving. He says many youths who were restricted during the war will need instruction to develop safe driving habits. The large steel owners already see ex servicemen needing training regardless of Army experience.
