So far there are no reports of anyone seriously injured in the accident. This accident, the fourth involving a multiple pile-up of vehicles in the last month, comes just as the first National Conference on Motorway Use is getting under way. At the opening meeting in London last night, Sir John Stone, the Metropolitan Area Traffic Adviser, criticised the standard of motorway driving in this country. He said that there was evidence that many of the basic disciplines of motorway use had yet to be learned by British drivers. Lane discipline was much worse in this country than in America; and the habits of drivers when overtaking were particularly bad.
One saw far too much dangerous pulling-out without an adequate signal having been given, and there was a similarly dangerous tendency for drivers to cut in after overtaking. Perhaps the commonest form of misuse however, was the reluctance of drivers of private cars to move into the inside lane whenever it was possible to do so. Sir John said that far too many were determined to stay in the middle or even the outside lanes, regardless of traffic conditions, with the result that drivers wishing to overtake became impatient and tried to follow too closely behind the vehicle in front, thus making accidents more likely. The conference is continuing. Now, the Common Market negotiations. Geoffrey Rippon, the chief negotiator, flew to Brussels last night. Britain has put forward the suggestion that a reasonable contribution would be thirteen to fifteen per cent, built up in a series of equal yearly steps over a period of five years.

Gibbs will follow local favorite son Gary Lindstrom, who announced the end of his lengthy public service career by not seeking re-election to the House seat.

In Frisco, repercussions from the 2005 debate over bringing Home Depot to town were evident, as the top two vote-getters in the town council election were vocal opponents to the big box.

In Dillon, incumbent Mayor Barbara Davis easily won reelection, but voting for the third town council spot required a recount. A vote margin of a single vote held up as retired doctor Don Parsons won the seat over nonprofit director Lucinda Burns.
