EYE SIGHT AND
AUTOMOBILE DRIVER

Owing to the rapidly increasing
numbers of automobiles, used for
business as well as pleasure purposes
ievery state should require that all ap-
(plicants for a license to drive
meteor vehicle pass an eyesight test
All railroads and many electric car
line companies require such a test.
Yet, in the great majority of states,
the prospective driver of an automo-
bile need only affirm in his application
that he has no physical or mental
infirmities. When one stops to CON
slider that a railroad engineer drives
over a steel track, guarded by signals
and watchmen, and over a route with
which he is thoroughly familiar,
whereas the autoist drives over any
road he chooses, not protected by
lights and signals, and in some cases
travelling almost as rapidly as loco
motive, it is plainly Imperative that
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1914-01-22

he possess as good sight as the man
in the engine cab. If one eye is highly
defective the field of vision is greatly
impaired and the driver less able to
maneuver his car in an emergency.
Paris, Munich and other European
cities have seen the necessity Of an ex-
animation of the eyes of all taxi
drivers and are strict in the enforce
ment Of this protective measure. It Is
more than likely that defective vision
is next in order of frequency to the
overuse Of alcoholic drinks as a cause
Of automobile accidents. We can, and
should, protect pedestrians and driv-
er~Af vehicles from injury to a great
er extent than we do. Each applicant
for a license to drive motor vehicle
should be required to give satisfactory
proof of at least moderately good
vision.-American Medical Journal.
