 STATE FREE IDEA
Urges Truck Drivers Be Required to Take Spe-
 cial Examinations

Suggestion to the State Motor Vehicle Department that all truck drivers be required to take special tests before being allowed to oper- ate heavy machines on the road is incorporated in an accidental death finding issued recently by Coroner Theodore E. Steiber of Bridgeport.
 The finding was issued in the case of 20 year old boy, inexperienced in the handling of a truck, who was killed when the loaded vehicle he was driving turned over, loosed its load on top of him, and crushed him to death.
 Coroner Steiber of Bridgeport, declares in his finding that pleasure car operators are not capable of driving heavy trucks, and many of the latter machines lack brakes capable of halting them when they are travelling, loaded, at speed of 40 miles an hour in neutral.
 It is suggested that inexperienced truck drivers require at least full weeks course of training before they are allowed to operate such a vehicle alone. The coroner says that he is "of the opinion that the Motor Vehicle Department should adopt a rule making 1t compulsory for truck drivers to take a test to show their qualifications before being per-
