RADIO PROGRAM NO. 440 - Highway Safety and Self-control

with contributions from Parker Thomas, Scott Campbell

[The participants are Parker Thomas and Scott Campbell.]

Campbell: Motorists in many parts of the world are concerned about safety. They want to feel that the car they are in is under control at all times—and that the other vehicles around them are also under control. But this is not always the case. In fact, there are people who would like to avoid highways completely because of the accident statistics for the long holiday weekends. Many feel there's something immoral or out of control about the whole situation. What do you think?

Thomas: Well there isn't anything immoral about safe and sane driving. Automobile travel is often a necessity, especially when there's little or no public transportation. The immorality comes in when a person's driving endangers himself and someone else, where it's reckless and involves an irresponsible use of the highway.
