DRIVE SAFELY

More than 50,000 Americans are killed or injured on our highways every year.

Few drivers use their signal lights for changing lanes or making turns. Graduate engineers establish the proper speed on all highways, but these speeds are generally exceeded by more than 10 miles per hour.

Courtesy to other drivers should be extended more frequently. Let us all reduce highway casualties and help reduce the cost of our auto insurance.
