TOYOTA-TO AUTOMOTIVES Open season on speeding Motorists looking for high-quality sound systems THE OLD saying, *‘Blow your doors off,’ used to have more to do with a car’s muscle and performance than its radio (which consisted of an am radio connected to a_ single. small speaker in many cars). Recent trends, however, sug- gest that an increasing number of motorists are looking to their car’s sound system, as well as its engine, for high-tech performance. According to audio system experts at General Motors’ Delco Electronics division, the current market demand is for high-quality, factory-installed sound systems that are specially designed and developed for specific car models. This is a trend that GM has been on top of since 1979, when Delco Electre..cs teamed with Bose Corporation to pro- duce a premium, high-quality factory-instalied sound system, now available on nearly a dozen GM models. GM is now making that kind of quality even more widely available, with its less-expen- sive Delco-Bose Silver sound system, which is being offered as an option on the 199] Chevrolet Caprice Classic. *‘It has two or three modifications that take some cost out,’ says a Delco manager, ‘‘but it still sounds remarkably close to the full-blown system.”’ Delco experts in the car audio field foresee a growing market for high-quality auto sound systems, including new technologies such as compact disc (CD) players and digital audio tape. The latter combines the quality of CDs with the re- cordability of cassettes. And because North Americans spend an increasing number of hours in their vehicles, they want their music, recorded books, motivational tapes and language lessons wherever they go.

The police are getting ready for an all-out campaign against speeding in B.C. For the two-week period from August 24th through September 6th, ICBC, police departments and community traffic safety groups will try to deliver a simple message: ‘‘Please stop speeding before speeding stops you.’’ The project will be considered a huge success by all, especially the police, if we see both speeding convictions and accidents drop. If you ask any police officer, he or she will tell you they prefer to nail somebody with a $75 fine and three points than mop up after an accident. Better yet, they’d prefer not having to issue the ticket in the first place. That's the reason we're tipping you off now about the campaign. Speeding can be a ‘‘sin’”’ of commission or omission.

The odd ticket now and then is something they and their fathers almost ex- pect. Girlfriends on the other hand, have a thing about being seen in a car pulled over by the police.

Either way, catastrophic results are much more likely than most people realize. To illustrate, let’s splic all B.C. motorists into two groups. The first group is small...they’re the ones who have caused an ac- cident resulting in injuries to themselves or other people. Those in the second, larger group have not caused accidents. According to a 1984 study, those in the small group have be. tween them 47 times the number of speeding convictions than the much larger accident-free group. Now, perhaps, you can see why there’s so much interest in the speeding issue, and why the August 24th to September 6th campaign hopes to make a dif- ference in our driving habits. CLEAR INVENTORY!
