Stricter T Procedures Advot^xted By tktfety Director S&etie&xt «^te 'ffeenslrfg prt>cedUres were advocated today by Paul H., Blaisdell, jpublic safety director of the Association of Casualty and Surety companies, to help end the threat to public safety on the highways by mentally incompetent peroons and habitual violators who are totally unfit to drive. A survey of license revocations and suspensions in forty states and the District of Columbia in 1952, made recently by Mr. Blaisdell, has revealed that "alarming numbers" of wholly unfit drivers and habitual law violators have been allowed to drive, he said. They will continue to menace the safety cf all motorists and pedestrians, he declared, until all states deny licenses to "moronic or mentally ill" drivers. Tests for driving licenses should be sufficiently rigid to reveal a person's unfitness to operate a vehicle safely, he added, and re-examination of all drivers periodically would disclose those *vho subsequently became unfit, rather than allow accidents to reveal the presence of dangerous motorists on the highways. In less than a dozen states a licenses fcec&9ii§ •'«* «*ngwous characteristics for operating a motor vehicle -- unsound mind, mental or physical deficiencies, habitual drunkenness. In three of these states the number barred from the roads for one or more of these reasons exceeded 1,000. In one state the total was 2,521. As few ac eight or eleven drivers lost licenses for these causes in two of iihe states. These fhcts only begin to indicate the extent of the danger >us driver menace on the highways and how lax some states are in revoking or suspending driving licenses of mentally and physically Incompetent persons* who somehow managed to obtain them, according to t/lf. Blaisdell. Most states do not list revocations or suspensions of driving licenses of such obviously dangerous drivers, he pointed out. The problem is not only widespread but it is growing with the increase of mental illness in the nation. This means that every year more serious psychiatric cases will be permitted to operate motor vehicles and endanger lives on the highways unless all states take prompt action to, bar mentally IB motorists from 'the roads. •. •: Another phase of the unfit dritotal of 7,050 drivers lost their ver problem is the "repeater' the motoaift wfto beeps aavlelat- Ing drivil* laftrt vntil tUB *t*te! licensing aifthoilty caUflias with him and suspends or taftea away hii license.. Mr^- Blaisdell said his study has revealed that more than 10,000 drivers lost I licenses for persistent violations of speeding, driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and other charges In sixteen states in 1952. In one southern state driving while intoxicated revocations ranged from 1,438 for the second offense to one for the sixth offense. He also emphasised the contrasts in numbers of habitual violators punished from state to state. They vary from five in one of the very largest states to more than 1,400 in one «f the smallest in point of population. Mi*. Blaisdell declared that such contrasts bring out forcibly the urgent need for tightening up of review procedures by licensing authorities to eliminate persistent violators charged with serious driving offenses from the ranks of drivers and thus give the plifolic greater protection from the accidents frequently caused by these dangerous motorists. Mr. -Blaisdell said the "point system," used by some states tc try to improve the driving habits of motorists through education, or suspend or revoke their licenses whea the total of demerits for violations reaches the "danger point," might prove helpful in making the highways safer if it is smsmmm "5" Mwe wfcialy adopted. Ha siUtt the report of one small. state which reviewed 8,783 records tinder its point system In 1952. Most of these cases were disposed of by warning letters and the remainder was about Equally djvftded between "conference" and "hearing" cases. I Of its 149 suspensions, thirty-two were for an accumulated record, seventy-four for failure to notify' the state of change of address, and forty^three for failure to appear . at conferences. A much larger state with the point system sent more than 20,000 warning letters to in-state drivers and nearly 11,000 to out-of-state drivers. In one of the largest states the point system cost nearly 1,900 bad-record drivers their licenses in 1952, through suspensions.
