Public and expeit opinions don't often agree too closely, but in thi.'- instance a group of auto insurance men, highway and municipal offic- ials and driver examiners were polled on the same question: they give exactly the same answer as the cross-section of drivers. So the con- sensus appears to rate he "nut that holds the wheel" as the leading vill ain of traffic tragedies. Which driving habit is considered least safe ? The answer is "exces sive speed," say both experts and the public. This opinion is proved correct by the statistical accident records of both the Ontario Depart- ment of Higliways and the National Safety Council, which show "speed too fast for road or traffic condi tions" as an accident factor more often than any other reported vio- lation. Compared with the two-thirds who say that "unsafe driving habits' contribute most to accidents, just one-quarter of those blame liquor. Less frequent hazards mentioned are pedestrian actions, weather and road conditions and mechanical condition of cars. Both groups agree that Saturday and Sunday are the most likely days for accidents, and put Friday in third place. However, accident sta- tist'c show that Saturday, Friday and Sunday (in that order) are the \v013t days for accidents. .A.nd while both drivers and the expert group say that dusk is the time of day when most accidents happen, actu- ally statistics show that more acci- dents occui- in broad daylight than at any other time.
