Courtesy is Safely



This is the time of year when drivers should pay extra-careful

attention to one form of courtesy when driving November

and December are Arubas wettest months as a result

from now until the end of the year there will be many times

when men will be driving during or right after a rain

In the plant for safetys sake men riding scooters usually

drive slower when the road is wet Cars and trucks frequently

pass them at these times sometimes splashing water on them ,

as they go by

This is a time for showing common courtesy Dont pass

when there is a pool of water in the middle of the road so

that the scooter driver will get water splashed all over him

and have to work in wet clothes The greatest danger is that

the scooter driver attempting to avoid getting wet might
