Phone 29. , 36-p8-3 The annual report on the workings of the driver's license and financial responsibility laws of Illinois issued in Springfield recently by Secretaryof State Edward J. Hughes lists 2,974,572 drivers licensed at the close of 1940 less revocations numbering 1047, judgments numbering 1,519, plus 226 drivers who have posted proof of financial responsibility. Under the law both revocations and judgments and failure to'subsequently prove financial responsibility, (ft«4 maintain that proof for three years) by way of liability insurance, bond, securities, or cash, rule a driver from the highways. Thus in Illinois there were at the close of 1940 a total of 2,321 formerly licensed drivers deprived of their privileges as motorists. The majority of licensed drivers in Illinois received their permits prior to 1940. The total for last year was 232,531. All of these, in addition to all drivers licensed since October 9„ 1939 were subjected to examination. There were ninety-two failures, eyesight being the leading cause, numbering twenty-eight, and a total of 9,662 restrictive licenses granted. Glasses were the leading restrictive features, numbering 8,312. A demand for Oatside mirrors was made of 1,444 drivers and a combinatibn of eye glasses and outside mirrors required of 150 driver*. Despite the fact that accidents for 1940 showed a numerical rise over the former year the fact that there was* an increase in automobile registrations and a resultant increase in mileage travelled on Illinois highways brought the percentage of accidents below the average for ten years...
