Karl Kae Knecht Cartoon

Description:	Cartoon warning of the dangers of failing to slow down when turning corners in an automobile. Top: A car goes around a curve on a highway at a reasonable speed. The highway is designed so that drivers dont have to slow down too much when going around curves. Bottom: Illustration of drivers who turn corners in a city incorrectly and dangerously, without slowing down or shifting gears. A text box says that a woman was killed the week before by a driver who went around a corner recklessly. A woman pulls a child out of the path of a corner-cutting automobile. Image Access WideTEK 25 Just because some highway curves are built to take them at prescribed reasonable speeds--is no reason to turn corners in town without slowing down. And shift. Wrong way. Only last week woman in safety zone killed by corner turning autoist. Correct way to turn. Wont miss and barely misses this. Corner cutter speeder. Squeak. Eek. Wrong Way.
