6 Revelations OF
Drivers License
In Ashe County
Were Revoked During First 6
Months of 1910. 2,774 Is
Total For State.
CAUTION ISSUED

Six automobile drivers in Ashe
county had their drivers licenses
revoked during the first 6 months
of 1910, according to figures re-
leased this week by the Highway
Safety Division.
Ronald Hocutt, director of the
division, said a total of 2,774
drivers licenses were revoked in
the state from January l, 1910,
through June 80, 1910. Since the
Drivers License Act went into eff
feet November l, 1885, a total of
28,367 drivers have had their Ii
censes revoked by the State.
Drunken driving, by itself and
in combination with other often
ses, accounted for 95 percent of
the revocationS, and the remain
der followed convictions on mis-
cellaneous offenseS, including
manslaughter, larceny of automo-
bile and repeated offenses of
reckless driving.
Revelations, under the 1885
Uniform Drivers License Act, are
mandatory upon conviction of:
(D Manslaughter or negligent
homicide resulting from the ope-
ration of a motor vehicle; (2)
driving motor vehicle while
under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor or narcotic drug; CD
any felony in the commission OF
which motor vehicle is used;
az failure to stop and render
aid in the event of a motor We
hicle accident; (5) perjury or the
making of false affidavit or
statement under oath under the
Drivers License Act or any other
law relating to the ownership OF
motor vehicles; (6) two charges
of reckless driving committed
within a period of twelve months;
and CD one charge of reckless
driving while engaged in. the IL
legal transportation of liquor.
"a drivers license is a pr1v1-
lege granted by the State on the
assumption that the licensee is
qualified to drive with due re-
gard for the rights and safety OF
other users of the highway, and
when a driver wantonly abuses
this privilege, disregarding and
jeopardizing the safety of fellow
travellers the state takes away
his driving privileges" said Safe
ty Director Hocutt, commenting
on the revocatiOns.
Don't abuse your driving pri-
vilege if you don't want to lose
it.''
