TelKT®?- and injured in traffic acrfftitft§ will continue to rise in every state which fails to deal harshly with such offenders. Thursday. Octobet IS, 1>S3 Expert Calls Laxity One Of Basle Seasons For Nation's D6ath Tpll • Laxity, in dealing with serious driving offenses endangering safety on the highways is one of the basic reasons why the nation's tolls of deaths and injuries in accidents are so high and keep going higher, a noted traffic safety authority has asserted. Thomas N. Boate, accident prevention department manager of the Association of Casualty and Surety companies, said that despite the fact that approximately 600,000 drivers lose their licenses temporarily or permanently for major or repeated violations of the highway safety codes every year, "these public tqenaces aren't being weeded out fast enough." Those' ruled off the roads in a single year for so-called "moving violations" represent only about one per cent of the nation's 60,000,000 licensed motorists and are "but a mere fraction of the chronically dangerous dri)rers traveling the highways," Mr. Boate declared. Drunken drivers comprise slightly more than one-third of those who lose their licenses through revocation or suspension, totaling about 200,000 annually. The offense of driving while intoxicated leads all others as the cause of loss of license, outnumbering speeders, the next highest group of delicensed drivers, by nearly three to one. Only 76,000 speeders suffered revocation or suspension of their licenses in 1952, Mr Boate said. Mr. Boate. whose experience with the accidents of these types of death-dealing law breakers of the highways includes many years as chief of the traffic division of the Pennsylvania state police, declared the public must not rest until it compels authorities to mete out much sterner treatment of offenders to discourless driving violations which claims thousands of lives every year. Unless far greater numbers of drivers who threaten Wri-iWig A study of available figures from forty states and the District of Columbia showed that in 1952 the licenses of 483,000 drivers were revoked or suspended for varying periods of time for "moving violations," according to Mr. Boate. Driving while intoxicated accounted for 35 per cent of these revocations or suspensions, while speeding, either by itself or in combination with one or more other offenses, represented more than 13 per cent. Reckless driving also ranked high among the causes of loss of license temporarily or permanently. However, Mr. Boate pointed out, four states had nearly half of the 60,000 suspensions for driving while intoxicated, and two other states together about one-fourth of the total of nearly 107,000 revocations for drunken driving. This indicates, he said, that most states must deal more harshly with those who drink and drive if there is to be a substantial decrease in accidents caused by drunken drivers. He also observed that two states, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, accounted for 75 per cent of the punitive actions taken against drivers for speeding offenses. Of the total of about 62,000 drivers whose licenses were suspended in 1969 for speeding, 46,120 lost them in those two states. Pennsylvania suspended 30,988 licenses for speeding and Massachusetts 15,-. 132. In all sfates only about 2,000" - driving licenses were revoked for speeding. "In some states the charge of driving while intoxicated represents 80 to 90 per cent of the offenses which cause revocation or suspension," commented Mr. Boate. "In several states speeding outranks all other causes for k>ss of licenses. To lessen continue to kill and maim those who use the highways. "The only language some drivers understand is 'You're going to lose your license.' Drunken drivers and speeders are killing well over half of those lost in highway accidents, yet only one Him »t << I K 1!"! I 7* COMING EVENTS October IS CJ>. of A. Public Party _ W.S.C.S.
