Classification of accidents in the United 

 States. 



school age between the 

 years 1917 and 1927 

 there was an increase of 

 nearly 17 per cent in the 

 deaths from auto acci- 

 dents and today con- 

 ditions are worse. 



While the school can- 

 not be expected to teach 

 you to drive a car safely, 

 it can point out some of 

 the commonest forms of 

 accidents and help you 

 to avoid them. In 1933, 

 in a total of 756,500 

 auto accidents in which 

 the driver was at fault, 

 it was found that over 575,300 people were killed and 

 injured. The accidents that took the greatest toll of 

 life and injury were in order these : (1) exceeding speed 

 limit, (2) car did not have right of way, (3) car was on 

 wrong side of road, (4) driving off roadway in traffic. Of 

 the eleven listed accident causes, they constituted three 

 quarters of all accidents. These then point out some 

 definite things that 

 young drivers should 

 do. Most accidents 

 occur at intersections. 

 Always slow up and 

 have your car under 

 control. Carelessness 

 at such places on the 

 part of the driver is 

 the biggest cause of K we ^ more verdicts Uke this we would have 



accidents. Keep alert fewer reckless drivers.
