Do you recognize this man ??? •
,He has to be a leader of a group or
he quits. He shifts from one job to an
other. He likes to be the clown. He
talks superficially on many subjects. He
favors eccentric dress. He likes sports
j only as a spectator. He is very consci
j ous of his physique. He has a * roving
I eye. He likes to fix his car himself,
! or should we say, ’’fix his own wagon.”
This fellow, according to a Canadian!
I psychiatrist, is the typical accident-j
j prone driver. The findings, as reported:
j to the Massachusetts Medical Society re-j
I cently, are based on studies of 20 acci-j
I dent-high and 20 accident-low drivers. j
If you know any people with all these \
\ characterisitcs, better steer clear— \
literally. If you happen to have any of!
them yourself, you’d better start steer-1
ing a bit more carefully.
