A press release today from the safety education section of the state department of motor vehicles lends support to recent statements by traffic authorities to the of. feet that Q large percentage of drivers are "aocldent.prone". Of the 6a7 operators involved In m0- tor vehicle fatalities In laS6, ap- prOxlmately 4l per cent had ono or more previous accidents. One driver In the group, classified as "JOhn Doe" compiled . grand total of l7 accidents in the past II years.
 Chart Evidence
 A total of 476 accidents was compiled by the entire group. Tho chart furnished by the department shows . lapse of time between acc cldentS from two days to lS years and 10 months. Following Is the remainder of tho report:
 'Dr. Walter Bingham of New York City, nationally known authority, who has made . very thorough study of the repeater question states that . driver who has only one accident In five years Is Q good driver. A driver that has two accidents Is an or- dinary driver, and ono with three or more accidents Is a poor driver. With Dr. Blngham's figures In mind . reference Co tho figures above shows the records of 225 operators included in this study should be closely watched.
 l7th Accident
 AS space does not permit Che anaIyxlng of each of the 225 oper- ators' records we have picked Connecticut's worst offender. We take John Doe who at the age of 3S has had his 17th motor vehicle accident. John started his career in 1925 In which year he had one accident. In 1926 he had two, In 1927 five, In 1928 three, in 1881 two, In 1882, one, In 1883 one. in 1884 one, and in 1885 he had . fatal accident In this group of accidents John was directly rec auonsible for five mishaps and guilty of contrlbutOry negligence m most of the others. He caused property damage in the amount o9 s49O0 in addition to taking one life and injurlng four. Each oT JOhn's accidents that he has been responsible for have been of the marginal type. In addition to the above John has been arrested five times, twice for overlooking, twice for reckless driving and once for improper rear light The only con. cl,lslon one can reach is that Holm should have been taken off the road years ago.
