Statewide Periodic Motor Inspection
Important In Reduction Of Accidents

8. Rejection of vehicle usually
informs the motorist in a specific
way that he is driving an unsafe
car, and that as a consequence he
is liable to be held as the negligent
party in the event of a collision
with a car that has been properly
maintained.
9. The driver who subjects his
car to periodic inspection tends to
cooperate with enforcement officers
and the general public in the OBJ
servance of traffic rules and regu-
lations.
10. Periodic inspection provides
for the motorist an inexpensive
maintenance service not available
elsewhere.
In 1916, police officers of the
United States, Canada and Homo
lulu, examined nearly 8 million We
hicles during a six-week accident
prevention program. They found
that 1890 of all vehicles examined
= nearly one-third = had obvious
and hazardous mechanical defects.
A total of 2,86O,346 vehicle
checks were made. Of this number,
922,775 had one or more defects.
The total number of defects re-
ported by types was 1921, 161-al-
most one dangerous defect for
every two cars examined.
In the United States, 2,718,076
vehicles We're checked: 872,290 or
/ 1910 had defects. In Canada po-
lice checked 1854 vehicles, A.
lot, or 34.29o of which were defec-
tive.
In the State of New Jersey, DUR
ing the first motor vehicle inspec-
ton year, there were ALB fewer IA
talities, or a reduction of 300, as
compared with the preceding year.
Total reportable accidents and nom
fatal injuries also decreased 1870.
This substantial reduction has been
consistently sustained through the
years.
Motor vehicle inspections in the
United States have been recognized
as an accident prevention medium
since 1927, when several eastern
states developed "Save A Life"
campaigns.
There has been steady develop
ment to a pre-war total of $780,
600 motor vehicles being regularly
inspected from one to four times
each year in II states and Is cities.
Now, two years after VI Day,
this nationwide program has been
1000 resumed with at least two
states added to the list and 10 ad-
ditional ones giving serious con-
sideration to legislation requiring
periodic motor vehicle inspection in
the interest of accident prevention.

We wonder about Boris. We
would have liked SO much to sit

genial and friendly and charming

Was he so deeply indoctrinated

suspicion which seems to permeate
most. Russian-American relations?
One slight clue we have, though 1t
