What Can Help Reduce


Besides


a "Sense


Accidents, including traffic acci-
dents, just don't happen because of
just bad luck! In most cases, they
are caused. This may be because of
human or material failures. Human
errors are mostly caused through in-
attention or negligence and not so
much because of ignorance.
Safe driving, first of all, requires
a great dosis of "sense of responsibi-
lity" for yourself, your family, for
the other driver, for pedestrians.
Your sense of responsibility tells
you what to do or not to do :
.... If you are not qualified to drive,
don't venture on the road.
.... If you drive, don't drink if
you drink, don't drive.
.... Check your car brakes, lights,


Especially on a curve, don't commit er-
rors so that you have to "borrow" space
from the other lane.

horn, tires if they are in proper
condition.
.... Adjust your speed to road and
traffic conditions.
.... Give proper traffic signals and
ON TIME.
.... Don't pass other vehicles where
or when such is prohibited.
.... Look always where you're going,
also when reversing.
.... Use your mirrors frequently to
observe cars moving behind
you.
.... Use your horn when the situa-
tion so requires.
.... Keep the windshield clean for
proper view.
.... Remember that roads are slip-
pery when wet.
.... Don't drive when you are sleepy,
feel drowsy or dizzy.
.... Maintain safe braking distance
from the car in front.
.... Watch out for pedestrians, espe-
cially children and oldsters.
.... Be extra careful for bikes, mo-
torbikes and motorcycles.
.... Don't blind other drivers with
your sharp lights.
.... Observe all traffic lights and
traffic signs.
.... Be alert for unsafe actions of
other drivers.
.... Allow passengers to get out be-
fore you move on; move only
when all passengers are seated.
BE A DEFENSIVE DRIVER by
- taking no chances
- committing no driving errors

On May 15, 1976, Mario Tromp, an

refinery in Sicily (Italy) where they
will be assisting in the startup of a

approximately three months.

Both Mario and Juan have wide ex-

of the sulphur units on the HDS area
and have worked both as panel ope-
rator and on the sulphur flaking and
loading facilities.

For both Mario and Juan this is
