A PILL...A CURB... AN AMBULANCE
CERTAIN DRUGS THAT WE TAKE MAY UNKNOWINGLY IMPAIR OUR DRIVING ABILITY AND HENCE CAUSE ACCIDENTS. OLD AGE, WITH SLOWING OF THE REFLEXES, SHOULD MAKE ONE DRIVE WITH MORE CAUTION. PEOPLE SHOULD AND CAN BE RESTRAINED FROM DRIVING WHEN THEY HAVE A DEFECT OR AN ILLNESS WHICH MAY MAKE THEM DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD. PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS CAN BE AS DANGEROUS AS PHYSICAL FACTORS. A SAFE DRIVER IS WIDE AWAKE AND IN GOOD PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CONDITION. /HSL/
