Skidding Test For
AN Car Drivers
WILLOW RUN, Mich.. « '. > -
i Under prttper conditions, test-
skidding an automobile is a good
practice tor mortorists who want to
avoid dangerous skids on icy roads
this winter, says C'harUs Landers.
Kaiser-Fra/er project engineer in
charge of test driv'jig
"When the road is clear in both
directions, and you are driving
slowly, it's a good idea to make a
fairly quick stop." he said. "That
may put you into slight skid, but
it will give vou a chance to check
road conditions as well as your
brakes.
"If. with all conditions consider
ered, you feel safe driving at 60
miles an hour, then you should he
going 40."
