Operators Licenses
 For Disabled Veterans
Commissioner Elmer s. Watson Issues Statement Oi
 Reinsurance to Handicapped Seryicemen

Comsr. of Motor Vehicles Elmer s. Watson announces that he is prepared to issue operators h- censes to any handicapped veteran who can demonstrate his ability to operate a motor vehicle safely, either to one of his examining in- spectors or to an examining author ity of another state whose stand ards are similar to ours.
 Comsr. Watson points out that there are nine army and navy hos pitals especially equipped for the rehabilitation and training of dis abled veterans. At these hospitals special driver training courses have been established where the trainee may learn or relearn to operate a motor vehicle. In many cases the car he drives needs no special de- vices, but if such devices are need ed to compensate for the loss of or injury to one or more limbs, such devices are available.
 Standard Tests
 The motor vehicle departments in the states where these hospitals are located are cooperating with the hospital authorities and, when the applicant is ready, will give him standard operators examination. Connecticut will accept such an ex- animation and will issue a Con- necticut operators license to the Connecticut resident who success fully passes the examination.
 The veteran who passes the test will receive a certificate from the examining authority. He may mail this to the Connecticut Motor Ve- hicle Department in Hartford or present it in person. A Connecti- cut operators license will then be issued in his name for which there will be no charge.
 The Society of Automotive En- gineers in collaboration with the motor car manufacturers have con- ducted a detailed study of available control devices and the car manu- lecturers are now prepared to issue S0SAA 0Cf3NCo All oPCSAd1 PdShdSCo which have been designed to be easily and quickly installed on the individual car for which they were designed.
 This manufacturers package was developed so that the veteran could purchase an engineered product that was especially designed by a reputable manufacturer for the specific use of the handicapped per- son. In this way they hoped to eli- minate the use of unsafe and un- tried devices that might be put on the market by interruptions persons.
 Better Average
 Commissioner Watson states that Connecticut has had long time ex- perience with the issuance of oper- ators' licenses to disabled civilians, some of whom needed special de- vices on their cars so that they could be operated safely A study oi the accident records of these er- sons shows that their accident ex- perience is somewhat better than
