Lack of uniformity Of State laws
is a deplorable condition and one that
is largely responsible for the forma-
ton of the National Motorists Asso-
citation, which numbers today over
100000 motorists comprising the ma
1ority of h larger automobile clubs
throughout the country. Heretofore
the voice of the motorist has been
rarely heard in the legislative halls
of the various state general assem-
blies. This has resulted in all kinds
of individualistic forms of regulation
and taxation"
What is needed, according to the
N. NJ. A. officials is a careful survey
of all existing statutes. correlated and
reviewed in classihcations and then
a model state highway traffic law COW
ering all features relating to the
speed of vehicles, weights of vehicles,
widths of tires, speeds in congested
areas of cities. in outskirts of incor.
porated municipalities, uniform head.
light requirements, uniform certih.
cate of title laws, uniform signpost-
ing. uniform parking regulations. and
uniform reciprocity.
1t is pointed out hat thirty-four
states have limited registration re
ciprocity of ten days. fifteen days,
thirty days. sixty days and ninety
days. The National Motorists As.
ISOLATION is advocating the entire elm.
nation OF state statutes that restrict
in any way full reciprocity between
states.

ut is beside the point at this time
to discuss the Justice or the injustice
of these various regulations and con-

motorist wants an enjoyable summer
with his car, and the gap between
anticipation and realization is often
marked by the car owners failure TO
allow a safe margin to cover these
contingencies.
Motorists will sometimes drive
through a state. ignorant OF It's state
and local laws. worrying enrotue as to
whether they can get away with hav-
