MOTOR VEHICLE ]. DEPT ACTIVE
Likely to Have More Prose cutiOns This Year Than
 . in l03O
MANY LAW VIOLATORS

An average of one in every fifteen Connecticut operators will be brought before the courts for vio- lation of the states motor vehicle laws during the present year, accord ing to indications given by past per- formances of drivers on record with the state motor vehicle department. The same records indicate that five of every six arrested will have to pay some penalty, either in the way or fine, probational supervision or time spent in jail. And these penal- ties are in addition to those assessed against the thousands who were hailed before traffic courts every year for violations of city and town ordinances, such as creating parking restrictions.
 A safety bulletin issued by Com n. issioner Robbins B. Stoeckel and read from WTIC to-day said that twenty-seyen thousand, four hun- dred and sixty eight cases of viola ton of state motor vehicle laws 12,642 the accused were found guilty and fined. Four hundred and seventy-fiye were sent to jail. The number of jail sentences was sixty two more than in the previous year. Other cases were disposed of by suspension and nolles on payment of cost and by placing those found guilty under direction of probation officers.
 i, Those who were sentenced directly the jail and those who went to jail because they were unable to pay inn posed fines served a total of 40,873 days, nearly the equivalent of 112 years. The heaviest penalties, both in jail sentences and fines, were meted out to offenders against the law prohibiting driving while under the influence of liquor. Of the 1881 persons arrested for this offense, only ninety-six were found not gull ty, while for 119 the cases were nolled. Two hundred and eighty eight were sentenced to jail, and fires and court costs amounting to $177,197, out of total of $572,874, were imposed for drunken driving. Speeding was the offense for which the greatest number of Con- necticut drivers were ill court, 5,14S being arrested on this charge. Other frequent charges were: Reckless driving, 3,S63 cases; disobeying traf- fic signal, 3,471 cases: violating rules of the road, 2,435; driving without obtaining operators license,
 2.424; operating with defective or illegal equipment, 1881.
 Less frequently but, nevertheless, quite often were the following charges placed against operators: Driving unregistered car; failing to carry license; evading responsibility; failing to grant of way: failing to stop for passengers boarding or leaving trolley; overlooking conl- nercial vehicles, and parking with out lights.
