Reckless driving of automobiles in
the town of Westerly. in common with
other places in Rhode Island, is
misdemeanor punishable by fine or
Imprisonment or both That this Jaw
is not strictly enforced In Westerly is
demonstrated by the collision of the
Lang and Spencer automobiles at
Watch Hill, Monday morning. Wnet .
this collision occurred is known to be
a very dangerous place, owing to :he
sharp curve and the narrowpess OF
the highway, still one or both of the
ma chimes were at high speed and when
the drivers sighted each other col
lison could not be averted especially
as that part of the road assigned 10
the trolley road was occupied by
moving trolley car at that particular
moment. Had the car hapDeaec -
have been discharging passengers at
the time the mixup would have been
undoabiedly more serious It so rap
pened that the only damage was
couple of wrecked automobiles.
The collision was purely result
of reckless driving and frJ1l the fact
tat neither party has flied comp ia mt
against the othe~, leads to The belief
that both are equally guilty. One who
crives his own AUTOMOBILE ard who
has ever in mind the safety OF sef
and others, declares that it is extreme
ly dangerous to ride in the streets of
the town of Westerly where reckless
drivers pay no respect to the laws rel
ative to speed and careful driving, and
that it was about time some movement
was made to check the increasing evil
Aside from complaints from ind1-
viduals whose property or person
had been injured, there have been no
arrests in Westerly for reckless driv-
ing, and only two arrests have been
made for exceeding the speed limit.
In the latter instance the arrests were
made on Sunday afternoon about a
year ago. by officers out on special
duty. The two offenders were stran-
gers and were penalized 800 each.
Since then there has been nothing do
ing towards regula ting the speed or
the proper and careful driving of au-
tomobiles in the town of Westerly.
There is a reason for all this under
the statutes that to a certain extent
relieves the local officials. In all pros
ecutions of this kind, the town stands
the expense and the state reaps the
financial benefit Should the locals
win in court prosecution the state gets
be lost to the prosecution the town
bears all the expenses. No allowance
is made by the state, for instance,
to pay for securing evidence or trap
ping automobiiistS, who exceed the
speed limit. In order to catch the
two who did exceed the limit it was
necessary for the officers to have an
automobile on the road. to note and
overhaul the speeders, and for this
and similar expense the town had to
pay, the state making no provision for
the payment of even actual expenses.
In these cases the fines aggregated
$500, and the whole sum went to the
state save fifty cents for the officers
attendance at court, sixty cents for
serving the warrant and twenty for
each mile travelled with the prisoner.
