There probably will be at least
300 drivers less on highways in Mon
tana this year-and the ones that
will be gone are of the kind that
makes even calm Sunday evening
drive risky They are persons who
were convicted of drunken or reck
less driving d&ring last year, and
whose driving Nlicenses have not
been restored
Under terms of a law passed by
the last legislature, drivers convict
ed of drunken driving or whose
reckless driving has resulted in
death or personal injury or property
damage in excess of $500, can not
be issued drivers permits until they
show financial responsibihty-that
is, show that they can pay either
themselves or through insurance for
damage they might do.
