[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1721302, member: 14585"] Learning to drive - auto safety From 1917-1920 more Americans were killed from car accidents than the total number of all Americans killed in World War I. In 1915 auto production exploded putting hundreds of thousands of completely new drivers on the road. In addition to lack of understanding safe rules for driving, braking a car was a new concept. Having to use both feet in unison took a lot of practice and a learning curve to not choke off early autos when braking. Many of those early auto deaths were blamed on drivers who were reluctant to brake and instead tried to maneuver to miss rather than brake. It wasn't just the case of being a new driver, it was everybody on the road being a new driver at once. :) [/QUOTE]
