It says that on a warm sunny Day in june a 9-Ycar-old boy was killed. He was struck by a car while crossing the Street on his Way Home from school. The child was not walking against the Light and the Driver was not drunk. The cause of this tragedy was faulty brakes. Two months earlier the Driver had been warned by mechanics not to drive his. Car because it had no rear brakes. The mechanics told him that driving without rear brakes would Wear out the front brakes. At the time of the Accident the front Brake pads were completely worn there Are other minor contributing factors to this Accident but the truth is that once the Driver hit the brakes the car still skidded about 50 Yards. Please Ann ask your readers to consider How often they have to make sudden stops when driving. I urge All of them to do regular maintenance on their vehicles concerned pedestrian in Canada dear concerned i spoke with Marion Jelks service manager at Gros singers Cadillac in Lin Coin Wood Iii., who said maintaining a car is vital. He also said the worst accidents he has witnessed were caused not by faulty brakes but human error a such As stepping on the Gas instead of the brakes. Please please dear readers remember this column the next time you need to Stop suddenly. _ dear Ann Landers i disagree with your response to the person who wanted to know if it was of for a no handicapped person to use the handicapped bathroom stall apparently you were thinking of it in the same terms As a parking lot. Designated parking spots accommodate the handicapped by assuring As Short a distance to the building As possible. If no handicapped people Park in handicapped spaces they deny this accommodation to the handicapped. A special bathroom stalls accommodate the handicapped by giving them More space and providing grab bars. There is absolutely no Good reason these stalls should not be used when there is a line of people waiting. A a a ,. A a a if one followed your reasoning Able bodied people would not be allowed to walk on the ramps provided near stairs because a handicapped person might have to hesitate a moment. It does no to make by sense does it Reader in Beautiful Alaska dear Beautiful Alaska. You re right on All counts. I really got clobbered by the readers for my numbskull response. Hear be hear be one and All. It is perfectly of to use the stall for the handicapped. Should a handicapped person come in he or she should be invited to go to the head or the line.
