Driver education
teaches avoidance
By Jamie Conley
Reporter
Driver’s education is now being
taken one step further through the
Emergency Reaction Driver’s Train
ing Course.
Terry Kline, safety education lec
turer and project organizer, said the
course is being offered by the Texas
A&M Safety Education Program.
The course surpasses the basic
skills learned in drivers education
and teaches drivers proper accident
avoidance skills, Kline said.
“Most people in an accident situa
tion react with a 3P-technique,” he
said. “They panic, pray and pass out.
“We want to teach drivers the
‘proper’ steps to follow when avoid
ing an accident and how to react in a
critical situation.”
When educating the drivers it’s
important that they are aware of
their car’s full driving potential,
Kline said.
“People don’t fully understand
the extent of their vehicle’s driving
capability,” he said.
“With control braking and proper
steering techniques, cars can be
safely maneuvered out of potential
accidents.”
One of the steering techniques
that drivers learn in the course is a
nine-and-three hand position style.
They place their hands parallel to
each other on the wheel and even
when turning, they do not remove
their hands from this position, Kline
said.
“The driver’s arms should literally
cross each other,” he said. “By keep
ing both hands on the wheel, the
driver will have better steering con
trol.”
The drivers also learn to move
with the steering wheel alone, with
out using the brakes, Kline said.
“When people slam on their
brakes while driving, this causes
them to go into a skid,” he said.
“That could increase their risks of an
accident.”
The main group that attends the
driver’s training course are chemical
salesmen.
Chemical companies receive re
duced insurance rates if their drivers
attend the course, Kline said.
Cynamid, a large chemical com
pany, sent 14 of its employees to take
the course.
Joseph Mascavage, sales manager
at Cynamid, said the course is bene
ficial for the company’s salesmen.
“The course provides the drivers
with a systematic approach for im
proving their perceptual driving
skills,” Mascavage said. “It will also
help them choose the best response
in critical situations.”
Mark Tapio, a salesman at Cyna
mid, said he took the course a little
too late.
“I was recently in an accident,”
Tapio said, “and the accident avoi
dance skills I learned in the course
are exactly the things I didn’t do.”

Hunt brother refuses bankruptcy
DALLAS (AP) — One of three
Hunts facing a $134 million federal
court judgment did not follow the
lead of his brothers in filing personal
bankruptcy petitions because he did
not have as much potential exposure
in the claim, a spokesman said
Thursday.
Heirs to one of the world’s great
est fortunes, Nelson Bunker and
William Herbert Hunt, two of the
multimillionaire Dallas brothers,
01301702filed bankruptcy Wednes
day.
But attorneys say the filings won’t
affect previous Chapter 11 bank
ruptcy proceedings involving the
brothers’ Placid Oil Co., owned by
their trust estates.
Jurors in a New York federal
court decided Aug. 20 the two
Hunts, their brother Lamar and
three other defendants must pay
damages for conspiring in the late
1970s to corner the world’s silver
market, and ruining the investments
of Minpeco SA, the Peruvian gov
ernment’s mineral marketing com
pany.
“They are very upbeat,” said Tom
Whitaker, executive vie president
for the Hunt Energy Corp. “There is
not anybody hanging their head
over this.”
He said Lamar Hunt did not file a
personal bankruptcy petition be
cause he does not have the exposure
of the other two brothers, Whitaker
said. But the spokesman did not rule
out the possibility of a later filing.
“It was his (Lamar’s) option not to
file,” said Whitaker. “He does not
have the involvement in the poten
tial silver litigation that Bunker and
Herbert have. He does have some
exposure, but not nearly as much.”
Whitaker declined to discuss why
Lamar Hunt may be less involved in
silver lawsuits than his brothers.
The Hunts are optimistic about
chances of getting a new trial or hav
ing damages reduced in their legal
fight with the Peruvian govern
ment’s mining company, said Whi
taker.
“This (reorganization) was a busi
ness decision, but they realized the
decision would be painful to lb
selves and their family,” the spoks
man said. “They are absolutelyi
termined to fight this, whatwea
calling the outrageous Minpecow
diet.”
Meanwhile, the Chapter lira
ganizations will avoid a ‘Tiresale'i
the wake of a required $225 mil
bond to appeal the court award!

U.S. District Judge Moral !
Lasker of New York allowed aw j
porary stay against the bond.
Herbert Hunt, in a statement,a
the personal filing will give himlii

Report: Texas tax system needs repair
AUSTIN (AP) — The state’s tax system is
troubled with some antiquated levies, hard-
pressed local governments and an inability to
keep pace with a changing Texas economy, a spe
cial committee reported Thursday.
“The Texas tax system served the state well for
two decades . . . But after 25 years, the system has
developed serious problems,” the report,
adopted unanimously by the Select Committee
on Tax Equity, said.
“The state economy has changed, but the tax
system has not always kept pace,” the report said.
The committee, which has worked for more
than 16 months, won’t issue recommendations
for improving the system until late November or
early December, officials said.
And although Thursday’s report on the prob
lems lacked some of the strongest language con
tained in a proposed version made public last
month, committee chairman Dan W. Cook III of
Dallas defended it.
“We think the problems are serious or we
wouldn’t have drafted this,” Cook, a partner in
the investment banking firm of Goldman, Sachs
8c Co, said.
“When we come up with the recommendations
addressing these problems, I think it’ll under
score where we think the serious problems are,”
he said.
In last month’s proposed version, the stain
system was described as a building in needot:
pair. “Some of the structure is still sound;*
of it is not,” it said.
That description was missing from the rept
adopted. “I think the house does need repi:
Badly? 1 don’t know,” Cook said. “I’m nottnii
to develop an inflammatory statement. Theffl
important thing we are trying to achieve is top
a bright light on what we think the proble;
are.”
Also missing was a proposed conclusion tb
had said, “The Texas tax system needs toi
fixed, and the repairs should begin now."
