                 WARNING
                STEERING
                  LOCKS!
 
      (A public service announcement 
   from the Automobile Saftey Foundation)

 Steering locks were introduced in the United 
 States as an anti-theft device in 1969, when 
 a half million vehicles were stolen annually. 
 Since that time, vehicle theft has been steadily 
 on the rise. Last year alone, more than two 
 million vehicles were stolen - proving the 
 ineffectiveness of the steering lock as an
 anti-theft device.
  
 The Automobile Saftey Foundation states the
 spring-loaded steering lock is a world-wide 
 lethal defect.  Warning and education about 
 steering lock operation saves lives and can 
 help prevent auto theft.
  
 The California Department of Motor Vehicles
 prints the ASF warning: DO NOT TURN OR 
 REMOVE IGNITION KEY WHILE DRIVING. This 
 warning, along with steering lock operation
 information is also printed by the Office of
 Traffic Safety and the California Highway
 Patrol. 
  
 For the complete facts about steering locks, 
 the ASF has printed two books: STEERING LOCKS! 
 (ISBN 0-9639964-8-7) and MACHINATION (ISBN
 0-9639964-7-9). These books are a must for
 all drivers and can be requested from your
 local book store (available through Baker
 and Taylor).
  
 The ASF is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
