Driving Tips
From Police
Chief Fulk
If you're the kind of auto
owner who drives his car
until the muffler falls off
before doing something
about it, admit your neglect
and heed this warning from
Chief of Police Robert D.
Fulk.
"When car windows are
rolled up in winter, exhaust
fumes that can seep into the
passenger compartment
can be deadly. A pre-winter safety-check of your
car is incomplete without a
thorough inspection of your
car's exhaust system t"
Detection and replacement of leaky mufflers and
exhaust pipes are not the
least of a driver's responsibilities to himself and
his passengers according
to the Chief. There are other items that need winter-
ready attention as recommended by the International
Association of Chiefs of
Police.
Check your antifreeze;
change to a winter-grade
oil, unless you already use
multi-viscosity type.
