Why? In spite of clearly marked lanes channeling traffic over mile after mile of smooth pavement—in spite of traffic signals and warning signs at every potential danger point—why .is driving on the ground still ten times more perilous than flying thousands of feet above the earth?
To get the answer to this riddle, we must look to the human element—to theman at the controls—whether it be the fourengine airliner of the six-cylinder motor car. He Writes your safety record—good or bad.
Airline pilots are trained specialists-—experts at their job of carrying people safely from one place to another. They have a healthy respect for both man-made and natural laws, because they realize their own survival depends on strict observance of those laws.
If you’re the average motorist, you can’t expect to equal the skill of a professional airline pilot. But you can work toward smooth driving, perfect timing, constant control, good judgment and respect for traffic laws.
Above all, it’s necessary to remember that you’re at the controls of a land vehicle, not a plane. The —giant air transport of today can zoom safely through the air at fantastic speeds, but you had better slow down if you want to live.
