PASSING DISTANCE

motor vehicle by another
That statement is made by the
Keystone Automobile Club on the
basis of testa conducted by the
National bureau of standards, which
developed the important fact that
for a car to overtake and pass another traveling 40 miles an hour on
a road abate spied of 50 miles an
hour are to be expected, the driver
intending to past must have at least
900 feet ef clear road) ahead, if the
maneuver is to be executed in safety-
In overtaking a slower vehicle
traveling at 20 miles an hear, the
safe passing distance it given aa
650 feet, made up of 200 feet for
the overtaking vehicle plus 450 feet
for a vehicle approaching at 60
miles per hour. Fer maximum
speeds above 50, the safe passing
distance ia more than 900 feet.
"The finding of the National Bureau of Standards, aa reported by
the National Research Council, are
of vital importance to every motorist," said William S. Canning,
Engineering Director of Keystone
Automobile Club. "Entirely new
light is thrown on the subject which
haa long engaged the attention of
safety authorities. In view of the
results of these tests, safety ideas
are aubject to revision.
"Analysis of highway accidents
shows a startlingly large number
of crashes that can be attributed
in varying degree, to inadequate
passing distance Motorists generally have always believed! that a
clear distance of about 800 feet
waa quite ample. The teat results
just announced prove this belief to
be without foundation. Our advice
to all drivers is to pay particular
attention to this phase of driving
and  refrain  from taking chances."
