IMPORTANTTO ENFORCE THE TRAFFIC LAWS

Carelessness is Cause oi 36,000 Being Killed in 1935.

Of all the weapons being used to combat traffic accidents, enforcement is ultimately the most important. This is not to minimize the vital need for such primary measures as education and' engineering, for education is a great hope and only through it can w r e achieve the ideal of self-en-forcement. Traffic engineering is a fast-developing science which can and does go far in reducing dents caused by faults in street and highway design and construction. Nevertheless, until education teaches the motorist better habits and a proper respect for the added advantages given by traffic engineering safety, enforcement must assume the practical leadership in accident reduction. People who are otherwise lawabiding, deliberately break the traffic laws every day. The result last year \va.s 36,000 killed and close to a minion injured. The police cannot afford to let down in their enforcement efforts— rather must they intensify them. Probably the first requisite for good enforcement is good laws to enforce. The truth of this statement is proved by a survey made by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Under-writers. This survey showed that the trend in the ratio of motor accident fatalities to gasoline consumption increased twenty per cent in six years in a

group of states having no driver’s license laws, while at the same time, it decreased twenty-five per cent in those states with standard license laws. So long as the law itself is lax, not only about licenses but also about the whole motor vehicle code, it cannot be surprising that the motorist is also lax. Intelligent Application A second requisite of good enforcement is intelligent application of the law. All offending motorists are not alike, either in their attitude or the degree of their offense. No police officer has the right to abuse his authority by abusing a motorist where harshness is not called for. The “bawling out” should be saved for the extreme offender. The average violates being the average man, is amenable to reason. The policeman wffio can explain how the safety of the offender and of others has been endangered by an illegal or an unsafe practice and who is equipped a& well to demonstrate statistically the toll taken by the particular violation, is far more likely to win a convert to the good driving idea, Correction and not punishment, is the aim of modern traffic law enforcement. Real enforcement, therefore, is self-enforcement. Death and destruction on streets and highways will practically cease when every driver—ahd every pedestrian— becomes bis own agent of enforcement.
