“The driver is safer when the roads are dry. The roads are safer when the driver is dry”

“The driver is safer when the roads are dry; the roads are safer when the driver is dry” is a saying that has been printed on many images. “The driver feels safer when the roads are dry and the roads are safer when the driver is dry” was printed in a 1945 newspaper.
