THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1988 New Responsibility Law Not Compulsory Insurance Law Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, who has received from Governor Horner the pen with which the financial sibility bill was signed, um that the new law was in no sense a compulsory insurance law. _ He said that no person would be compelled to carry insurance, and even the driver who had been reckâ€" less had other alternatives. He can ageposit a surety bond, a real estate bond, cash, or securities instead of ingurance. The club president said that proof of financial responsibilâ€" ity is required from those persons who have their driver‘s license reâ€" voked under the provisions of the driver‘s license law. Another feature, he explained, was that phase which demanded proof of financial responsibility for those who had judgments entered against them in automobile accident cases and who did not pay these judgments within thirty days after they became final. "This phase of the law," sadi Mr. Hayes, "tends to make it a safety measure of great importance." . _ When the drivers license is reâ€" voked, according to the provisions of the new law, the registration of all the driver‘s cars is also revoked znd his number plates taken away. A new license will be refused until he has given proof that he can pay for future accidents. With ‘his liâ€" cense suspended and number plates recalled by the secretary of state, he cannot drive until he has paid the judgment and at the same time given proof of his ability to pay for future accidents. Clerks of court must send recâ€" ords of convictions and unpaid judgments to the secretary of state. Instalment payments on judgments may be paid on application to the court, provided the purpose is to retain a drivers‘ license. Bonds of reliable surety companies will be taken and bonds signed by two perâ€" osnal sureties and secured by real estate. A policy of insurance is also acceptable. _ â€" 2 Mr. Hayes explained that proof of financial responsibility could be tendered after a judgment had been rendered. In that case conviction or a judgment would not cause the isuspension of driving privileges under the financial responsibility provisions. Mr. Hayes said thaip compulsory insurance was unfair and burdenâ€" some, because it . required everyâ€" body to buy insurance regardless of whether he is a reckless driver. In the.case of the financial responâ€" sibility law, however, he said, the driver is not foreed to go to the expense of obtaining insurance or other proof unless he actually provâ€" es himself to be reckless. Financial responsibility laws are now in effect in 28 states, the Disâ€" trict of Columbia, and Hawaii terâ€" ritory. Federal Writers Project Announces "A 8.
