SAIN TSN ca na Re cee Pere s Ldrivers SHARP-EYED B.C. motorists have the chance to do something positive to make streets and high- ways safer, The Canadian Association of Fleet Supervisors is looking for volunteer observers to report on both good and bad road habits ex- hibited by professional drivers. The Cooperative Road Safety Observers program was founded in 1983 by the association, which concerns itself with safety and maintenance aspects of truck, bus and emergency vehicle fleets. The program is endorsed by ICBC through fleet safety programs manager, Fergus Savage, who is the current president of the Nor-- thwest Alliance of Fleet Super- visors, . Savage says the observers pro- vide valuable information to fleet supervisors. ‘‘The reports allow the supervisor to counsel or com- mend a driver,’’ ie says. ‘‘This » May 20, 1987 - North Shore News Ei way, we will be able to improve driving habits and prevent acci- dents, plus we'll help the company or the service maintain good rela- tions with the public.” Volunteers sought by the CAFS are carefully screened and given code numbers and special report forms. In the past, these observers have included commercial travel- lers and off-duty police officers. Savage points out that the Co- operative Road Safety Observers — program does not involve a tele- phone hotline. That recently publicized campaign will be run this summer by ICBC. The hotline will give the general public an op- portunity to report dangerous in- cidents involving commercial vehi- cles. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer observer should contact the Canadian Association of Fleet Supervisors, 1851 Lougheed Highway, Coquitlam B.C., V3K T7 trip to Disneyland at any of McDonaldsc North Vancouver: locations For a limited time, enjoy the great taste of McDonald’s, Bacon Double Cheeseburger ond o chance to win: © A one-week trip for 4 to Disneyland, including: © Return airfare and one week's accommodation for a family of four @ Ground transfers ° A one-day unlimited pass to Disneyland for four. ~ Entry forms available at participating McDonald’s Restaurants on the North Shore only.
