Show ELIMINATE CARELESS DRIVERS One of America's greatest problems prob-lems today is to check the ever-increasing ever-increasing automobile accident hazard. ' Last year 27,500 lives were lost through utomobile accidents, of which 16,000 were pedestrains. During last August the ' a verge daily toll was 91 lives a day, the highest in our history. It is said: that 90 per cent of accidents ac-cidents are caused by less than 10 per cent of drivers. Until we strengthen and enforce our laws, to protect the competent driver by excluding the reckless from the highway, our terrible toll of automobile auto-mobile deaths must continue to increase. How much longer shall the careless, reckless or incompetent driver be allowed free use of the public highways, a menace to the j lives and property of every other motorist. |
