BETTER DRIVE CAREFULLY

California now has some new laws gov
erning the operation of automobiles. to
make stiffer penalties for those who vio
late them.
The laws, of course, will be absolute
" worthless without judiciary to en-
force them and citizenry willing to
back up the judiciary in its findings
Stiffer penalties are ordered for those
who are guilty of loss of life in an auto
mobile accident, for those driving while
intoxicated, for the reckless driver, the
speeder. particularly the speeder at in
tersections) and those who operate ye-
hicles with defective lights.
Greater powers are also given to the
highway patrol, and this fact, coupled
with the new laws, is expected to make
Californians drive more carefully.
As the laws only became effective at
midnight last Saturday it is still too
early to state whether or not they are
successful. It will be many months be-
fore We are able to say whether they have
aided in cutting down our frightful traf-
fic toll
It might be we'll for all motorists to
remind themselves that getting into
trouble from now on is likely to be much
more serious for them-alWays proyid-
ing the courts and the citizens really
wish the laws to mean what they say.
