On a mile-for-mile basis, night
driving is more than twice as
dangerous as daytime driving, and
according to Larry M. Bulling,
president, Evergreen Safety
Council, the night driving hazard
will increase this fall as the hours
of darkness extend into the early
evening and late afternoon
commuter rush hours.
Bulling cited National Safety
Council statistics showing that the
night mileage death rate in the
U.S. is 7.4 fatalities per lO0
million vehicle miles traveled,
while the daytime mileage rate is
2.9 fatalities per 100 million
vehicle miles. On weekdays, he
said, the number of fatal
accidents greatly increases
between the hours of 4 and 8
p.m.
Traffic congestion, haste and
fatigue all contribute to the
increased fatality toll during the
evening commuting hours, he
explained, but the earlier hours of
darkness during the fall and
winter months add an especially
deadly component to the mix of
rush hour hazards.
"Darkness," Bulling said,
"reduces the clarity of the visual
cues essential for'safe driving.
Judging distance and speed
becomes more difficult, and a
driver's peripheral vision is
reduced," he added, "so that
pedestrians and bicyclists along
the roadside can seem to appear
out of nowhere."
The first rule of safe night
driving, according to Bulling, is to
slow down and stay alert.
"Motorists often overestimate
their night vision when they are
driving in familiar areas," Bulling
said, "because they easily can
pick out objects that they are
expecting along the roadway
ahead. However, it takes much
more time to recognize
unexpected hazards at night," he
added, "and that longer
recognition time means that a
driver must keep his speed down
and his eyds moving in order to
spot dangerous traffic situations
before he drives into them."
Night driving speeds,
according to Bulling, can vary
depending on visibility
conditions, but a driver should
never travel so fast that he cannot
stop within the distance
illuminated by his headlights.
Under clear weather conditions
and on a straight stretch of road,
most low-beam headlights will
illuminate the pavement ahead for
a distance of about 250 feet,
Bulling said. By comparison, he
said, most automobiles can come
to a complete stop within 226
feet on dry pavement from a
speed of 55 miles per hour.
However, headlight glare from
an approaching car can reduce
visibility to as little as 100 feet,
Bulling said, and rain, haze or
road conditions such as curves
and hills can reduce vision even
further while stopping distance
remains the same or increases.
Keeping headlights and other
vehicle lighting systems properly
maintained will maximize their
efficiency, Bulling said, and he
added that lights should be
cleaned at every fuel stop along
with the vehicle's windows. He
advised cleaning lenses more
frequently in wet weather when
road spatter drying on the glass or
plastic can cut illumination in
half. Bulling also said that a check
of headlight alignment should be
part of every motorist's periodic
vehicle maintenance checklist.
"Proper headlight alignment is
essential to put the most
illumination on the road and to
keep the beams out of other
drivers' eyes," Bulling said. "A
headlight beam that is out of
alignment by one degree will be
off-target by 21 inches at a
distance of 100 feet," he added.
According to Bulling,
headlights - not parking lights -
should be turned on just before
dusk.
"During the twilight hours,
headlights may not make it much
easier for a driver to see," he
explained, "but they will make it
easier for other road users to see
him. Readily being seen," he said,
"is almost as important an
ingredient of safe night driving as
seeing clearly."
Bulling said headlights should
be dimmed about 1,000 feet
before meeting or overtaking
another vehicle, and he advised
drivers to avoid looking directly
into the headlights of an
oncoming car. Instead, he said,
drivers should focus their eyes on
the right edge of the road to
maintain a steady lane position.

quickly to bright light than to
darkness," he said, "and after
looking into an oncoming car's
headlights, it usually takes about
seven seconds to regain clear
vision. That means a motorist
driving at 55 miles per hour
would travel about 600 feet
before he could see clearly after
getting a dose of headlight glare."
A driver's vision also can be
improved by regular windshield
and window cleaning - both
inside and out. Bulling said many
drivers neglect to clean the insides
of vehicle windows and, as a
result, a film builds up that
reduces vision and increases glare.
Because the film accumulates
slowly, Bulling said, a driver may
not be aware that his vision is
being obscured. He recommended
cleaning interior windows at least
once a week, especially if vehicle
passengers are cigarette smokers,
since the smoke settles on
window glass and adds to the
grime build-up.
As any night driver can attest,
driving in the dark is more
complicated and dangerous than
driving in daylight. But, according
to Bulling, safety on the road at
night is largely a matter of
preparation - preparing the
vehicle and the driver to cope
with the special hazards that
come up when the sun goes down.

Recent high winds and
soaking rains have undoubtedly
caused some fallen trees and one
just missed the North Shore Store
last Saturday night. Paul and
Zelpha Dory had just retired in
their aPartment behind the store
when there was a sound like a
loud clap of thunder and a large
Douglas fir on the neighboring
property to the south fell just in
front of the store. Telephone and
power lines went with it. The
PUD crew was out on the North
Shore on another call, saw the
damage, and made a quick repair.
Everyone expects the mail
delivery to be a little later as
Christmas approaches and so it is.
However, that is not the only
reason, according to our friendly,
zippy mail carrier, Bob Sanders.
His route continues to grow and
he now officially leaves the
Tahuya Post Office a half-hour
later. Mail boxes on the route
from Belfair to Tahuya have
increased from 318 to 432 in a
year and from Tahuya to Belfair
over the hill from 39 to 92. Mail
carriers now case their own mail
at the post office, which adds to
the work. Bob has requested the
post Office department for some
extra help but hasn't had an
answer. He is training Sherill
Witte to help. She is the wife of
Gary Witte, new assistant to
Avery Winslow, Belfair State Park
ranger.
i The post office department
has been in for a lot of heavy
criticism lately but we are lucky
here to be served by friendly,
helpful, cheerful people in the
good old tradition of the post
office.
We saw AI Blomley the other
day and found that he has been
hobnobbing with royalty. During
the recent visit to the Pacific
Northwest of King Olav of
Norway, AI attended the
festivities in Seattle, had dinner
with His Royal Highness, along
with a number of other people,
on Blake Island and later at a
more informal party at Grieg Hall
in Poulsbo.
This is not the first time that
AI has met King Olav. The first
time was in 1939 when Olav
visited this area as Prince Olav and
again in 1968. AI remarked one
great change and that was the
noticeable increase in security in
his most recent visit. AI describes
him as a very friendly man,
deserving of the name "the
people's king."
A baby seal was born on the
Hedstrom-Kidwell dock last week.
Several people noticed a rather
agitated seal in and out of the
water. Directly after the birth, the
baby was introduced to his
watery home and they both
departed. We wish them well.
