Yes, lady, we know you were
well brought up. You say “Please”
and “Thank you” and use the
right fork and write the nicest
bread and-butter letters. But when
it comes to your conduct while
driving, you most definitely could
learn manners from a truck driver.
Truck drivers are good drivers.
They keep on their side of the
road, they don’t go at fantastic
speeds, they practice that funda
mental rule of democracy and good
breeding: Give the other fellow a
break.
Which is more than can be said

tion takes place when they sit be
hind a steering wheel. They ignore
the comfort of friends riding with
them. They disdain the rights of
people on foot. They yell boorishly
at drivers who displease them.
Many who wouldn't touch a
nickel that belonged to someone
else flaunt all law and order when
behind a steering wheel, with the
callousness of experienced criminals.
The serious part of this curious
behavior is that bad manners make
bad driving, and bad driving makes
accidents and death.
So mend your manners and be
come a good citizen even when
driving. It may save your life.
