 FORCED ID INSURE
Financial Responsibility Checked
 Up Under New Law

Hartford, March S--The state mo- tor vehicle department required a@i owners of motor vehicles in Conncc- ticut to furnish proof Of financial re sponsibility during the month of January, it is revealed by tho first announcement concerning the ad- mnistration of the new law on this subject. This was due 10 the fact that 74 Of them caused property damage during the month, 5S wero convicted Of speeding, 42 of reckless driving and @9 of intoXaCation whilo driving, 23 caused personal injury and four cyadcd responsibility after an accident,
 Given the alternative Of filing an insurance certificate, bond, q real estate lien. collateral or money as proof of their financial rcsponsibili- ty 10 satisfy any claim for possible future damages of at least $l0,00O by reason of personal injury to or the death Of any person and for damage of at least Sl,000 to proper ty, 170 promptly filed certificates of insurance. Thirty eight failed 10 respond 10 registered letters stating the requirements imposed upon them under inc new law and are now on 1 the registration suspension list. Scv- cral of those who filed insurance ccr- i ti1catcs had not previously held in suranCc. it was shown by the papers 1 filed with the department, but the great majority of them were covered
 by insurance before they came un-
 der the provisions of the financial
 responsibility law by their faulty
 driving as noted above.
 Since the Connecticut law on this subject Is believed 10 be the first of | its kind anywhere, considerable in terest has been manifested In its op- eration. The law is often referred to as a Compulsory insurance" law, which is q misnomer, as 1t provides four methods other than insurance by which 10 prove financial responsi- bility, and none of the methods is required of people who have not. by lhelr own acts, made themselves H. able to its provision.
 For the administration of this new phase of the motor vehicle de- partments activities, a separate di- vision has been established, which deals exclusively with the cases of 'rogistrants whose cars have been in volved in any of the offenses named
 in the first paragraph.
 One effect of the law has been 10 cause an increased demand from in- 'surance companies for certified cop ics of the driving record of certain drivers who have presumably applied to them for insurance. It is believ- ed that this additional checking of drivers records will hav2 a tendency to promote safety on the public high ways, for drivers will realize that, if they are unable 10 furnish satisfac- tory proof of financial responsibility their right 10 operate cars of their own on Connecticut highways will be forfeited.
