Much can be done at all levels in this field. The responsibility is a joint one between the judges and the arresting officer. Our survey reveals weakness on both sides. For example, records show that the two most common violations involved in accidents last year were (1) following too closely, and (2) failure to yield the right of way. But less than 2 of the citations and reports of vonvictions included these offenses.

In fact, the council spokesmen indicated, arrests which do not result in such convictions may be worse than no arrest at all. In concluding his comments on the Council study, Mr. Robinson drew attention to the offense of drunken driving and the fact that convictions violation on this amounted to only 3 of the reports received. He pointed out that 8 of all accidents and 17 of all fatal accidents involved these viola- per cent of Utahs fatal accidents in 1952 involved the combination of speeding and drunken driving. The Traffic Court Conference delegates were unmistakably clear in their recommendation for strict action by police, judges, and jurors on this vicious offense, he added, but our study shows that neither the number nor the severity of convictions are what should be expected in the light of our accident records.
