Rutledge, et.i 1 Inmruce For Autos Comnpulsory automobile insur- ance, recently pondered by the Ontario Government, would not guarantee safer highways because compulsion bas no relation to ac- cident prevention, Percy M. May, told the Ontario Insurance Ad- justers' Association. 3 The State of Massachusetts, in its search for a lessened hlghway toil, had put compuisor 'y is~rance inito force inl1927-he only spot On the continent te try this legis- lation. But, between 1926 and 1938, collisions had lncreased 46.5 per cent, injuries 88.4 per cent, wbile car registrations had risen 0ny 0.5 per cent. Rates, too, had gone up at Ieast 27 per cent, butM.My thought the total i- crease probabi '.ynearer 40 per cent." And he New York Bar Association bad branded rate-fix- ing ini Massachusetta as something "lke a Political football gaine."1 In its object of increasing safety on Ontario routes, the speaker suggested, authorities would do better to reinforce the exlsting Financlal Responsibility Act which, in 8 years, had driven 20,- 000 bad drivers from, the road. The State of New Hampshire bas a more effective financial. re- sponsibility kaw. Under it, the driver in an accident which bas led to death, injury, or property dange of over $25 must, iminedi- atly produce evidence ef fin- ancial responisibility and, there- after, must file such evidence yearlY ail the while he drives. That New Hamipshire kaw went further than the present Ontario law since the Ontario statute does not; require a driver to produce evidence of financial responsibil- lty unlescbarged by the police or until he has.been sued success- fufly for damages and failed to pay. The Ontarioo kw, too, might well be aniended to relieve in- surance companiea of the respon- sibility of deciding whether or not a suspended licence should be reinstated. Mr. May suggested that the authorlty grantlng the licence ougbt to decide reinstate- ments. He consldered that of- tenders whose licences would be reinstated ini production of an in- surance policy, and major offend- ers who would neyer get their licences back, insurance policy or none. "In Ontario," cQncluded Mr. May, "we have put a large number of dangerous drivera off hie high- ways and it is reasonable to as- sumie that this bas dene omre gooçl But greater safety on the ighways must be sought in other directions. The answer !pay be found in hlgher qualifications be- ing required before drivlng nc- ences are issued; in thc education of the drlving public to ncw standards of carefulnnesa; ini strict- er law enforcement, or in hlghway engineering, but certainly flot ini uiy tom of compulsory insur- Cowanvle (Intended for lait week> Mr. and Mrs. A.
