ginner who happens to have poor

It is pointed out that motor
vehicle inspectors are giving prefer
ence to the safer cars. not merely
to the better drivers. II this We're
not true, many believe. the States
enforcing the drivers test would
see that each applicant demon
strates his or her ability at the
wheel Of stock car owned by the
department..
The tendency. among ear buyers
to shift from one make or car to
another, and to have a new car at
least every year, has opened the
eyes OF many to the fact that
cars vary widely as to their in
herent safety. That Is. take a
driver of average capability, shift
him from one make of car to an
other and It win be found that he.
is less of a public risk in one than
In another.
Deficiencies Made Public
At the recent national conference
on street and highway safety It was
developed that little actually was
known regarding automobile acci-
dents For some time, the import
ant accident prevention agencies in:
the country have been compiling
statistics covering the causes OF
fatalities and collisions. 1t Is sig
nificant that in analyzing the acct.
dents investigated the inherent safe
ty or danger points Of the cars are
not considered.
For insurance purposes, all makes
and models Of cars are submitted
The Washington times., 1926-05-19

to the underwriters laboratories for
test, variation in rates for differ
ent cars being based upon the find
lngs. The argument chat IT might
be unfair to the automobile BUSINESS
to stigmatize certain cars as being
less safe than others is thus offset
by the fact that the industry al
ready is having the. deficiencies Of
Its products made public through.
Insurance circles.
Furthermore safety is generally
conceded to be Of greater public inn
portance than monetary Indemnity
for loss.
