WEST VANCOUVER firefighter Steve Sentes warns 2 motorist of the troubles caused by driving over a firehose. Driving over the costly hoses endangers firefighters as well as being an offeace under the Motor Vehicles Act. ipo eorrerres een eer res see Py en Rta wane FOR THE eighth consecutive month, automobile ac- cident claims reported to ICBC outstripped last year’s record pace. ICBC statistics to the end of August show bodily injury claims up 12 per cent over the same period last year. Property damage claims have risen five per cent. President Tom Holmes says the insurance corpora- tion is assessing the worsening claims situation carefully in light of its initiatives to promote safety. “ICBC’s Traffic Safety Department and police forces across the province are mounting a concerted effort 10 reduce the number of accidents’’, says Hoimes. “Our just-completed hack-to-sehant nro- 43 - Friday, September 23, 1988 - North Shore News gram has cut down speeding in school zones, The next target will be intersections, where most of our traffic injuries occur and where we need to see a major im- provement in driving habits."’ He adds that ICBC will continue with its long- standing educational efforts to promote the use of safety belts and to reduce drinking and driving. With shorter days and cooler, wet weather on the way, motorists will have to pay closer attention to their driving. ‘It's their only way to avoid becoming another statistic in what’s turning out to be B.C.’s all-time worst year on the road.”” Luxury key in Lincoln Town Car ELEGANCE, DISTINCTIVE style and traditional ride and appoint- ments have made the Lincoin Town Car the industry standard for luxury in Canada. The 1988 Lincc!n Town Car was introduced in March, 1987, with significant updates including new front- and rear-end treatments, as well as interior revisions and upgrades. Additional changes for the fall include a new paint treat- ment for the Cartier Designer Series, new radio/cassette player design and other attractive, new exterior paint colors. Town Car’s uniquely elegant Cartier Designer Series gets a fresh look with a new two-tone paint treatment featuring Crystal Clear- coat Metallic over Dark Titanium Clearcoat Metallic. The vinyl roof, interior color and features all re- main the same. Also this fall, Town Car’s stan- dard electronic AM stereo/FM stereo cassette radio features an all-new, advanced design offering a great number of improvements over the previous unit. linproved controls include soft-touch cassette function buttons, electronic vol- ume control, and bass, treble, balance and fade controls that can be popped out individually for easier adjustment. Expanded features include AM stereo (Motorola C-Quam), automatic CrO2 equalization (ver- sus having to push a button for metal tapes), DNR tm (Dynamic Noise Reduction) for filtering out noise when listening to FM broad- casts, local/distance selection switch, and 18 preset station memory settings to 6 AM/12 FM in place of the previous 8 (4AM/ 4FM). An additional innovative feature of this new unit allows the scan feature to be used in the tape mode, as well as in radio station selection. In the tape mode, pushing the scan button advances the tape to the beginning of the next music selection, plays it for a few seconds, and then quickly ad- vances to the beginning of the next selection...when the desired selec- tion is reached, pushing the button again stops the scanning process and plays the selection. The sound system utilizes an 80-watt amplifier (four channels at 20 watts per channel) in its stan- dard configuration. The new radio/tape player unit also serves as the basis for the Town Car’s Ford JBL Audio System — with and without Town Car’s Compact Disc Player. mate eA FO “GOOD THINGS JUST GOT BETTER” It’s tune-up time now at N.S.
