January “Poor Vision”
Month for Drivers
January is “poor vision" month for drivers. •Fewer daylight hours, fogged windshields, fading half-light, deceptive shadows and glistening pavements all add up to a greater need for caution and alertness. According to the Institute for Safer Living of the American Mutual 1 .iability Insurance Company, good vehicle maintenance, reduced speed and increased alertness are the key answers to traffic problems when visibility is poor. The reliability of lighting in the stop-go traffic that occurs during winter storms is dependent on a well maintained electrical system. Motorists should also make it a practice to clean headlamps, windshield and car windows of daily accumulations of traffic and weather film. This film tends to diffuse the light and play optical tricks on the driver. Reduced speeds and special alertness are required at pedestrian crossings and when passing a line of parked cars. Bridges, overpasses and locations where tree or building shadows fall across pavements are the locations where
you can expect ice patches to occur first when it is raining and temperatures are marginal.
Be especially alert during evening hours, advises the Institute for Safer Living. The worst hours of the day for wintertime accidents are when homeward traffic is at a peak and temperatures are falling rapidly. T
