On the contrary they embody suggestions. which have been advanced innumerable times by traffic control authorities and motorists. They do, however, challenge all motorists to face the promoting of traffic discipline as a serious business, and not an amusing little game. : One of the new police orders proposes to hold motorists strictly accountable for breaking the law. . Under it first offenders may be sentenced to 30 days in jail or fined $100. Three-time losers may be sentenced to 180 days in jail or be fined as much as $500. Speed of more than 40 miles an hour requires the driver of a passenger car to prove that he was not . driving recklessly if he is brought into court so charged. Thi regulation also does not forget the trucks. Motor trucks o! less than two tons are limited to 20 miles an hour; larger trucks to 15. : Another regulation simply proposed to put teeth in the ‘examinations for drivers’ licenses. Under it an applicant must actually demonstrate two things; that he is reasonably fit physically, namely that he can see and hear, can use his arms and legs reasonably well! and can think sufficiently fast to meet the routine emergencies which every driver must meet! if he, or others encountering him, are to live out their natural! lives. A third rule requires that drivers’ records, good, bad and indifferent, are to be recorded on their licenses open to examination by traffic officers and the courts. California, which is now in the process of tightening up its traffic regulations might well follow this example, Mr. Lowney remarks on behalf 6f'the Safety.Council. And every Californian who seriously considers the ‘need of the Safety Regulations will endorse this suggestion, we believe. But if past experience with traffic regulation means anything it will not be enough to write new and more stringent regulations into the traffic laws. . The New York proposals seem sensible, reasonable and enforceable if one requirement is met, namely that the general public, and particularly. the motoring public, can be persuaded to approve and accept the new policy.
