NEW DRIVER’S LAW DEC. 10 New Driver Examination Program Goes Into Effect Dec. 10 i Indianapolis, Nov. 29 (Special) -Indiana will open a new campaign to reduce motor vehicle accidents on its streets and highways December 10. when It puts its new driver examination program into effect, Commissioner Frank Finney of the i motor vehicle Bureau announced today. He explained that, under the amended licensing procedure new drivers will be examined for their knowledge of traffic laws, eyesight, actual ability to handle a car under normal traffic conditions and capacity of reading and understanding highway warnin’; signs. Indiana has joined the ranks of other states which have installed this modern safety meaure”, Finney said. “Thirty states and t'he District of Columbia require similar tests, ten of which, including Indiana, are starting this year. “States which have had these examinations in force over a period of years«have reduced their motor vehicle fatality rates to substantially below the national average. “There are three elemen's to an automobile accident", the commissioner pointed out, “the car. the highway and the driver. Tim driver is by far the most important part of the picture, and these examinations, coupled with our genera! revised vehicle laws, give us a means of making Indiana highways safe for tliat great body of motorists who drive carefully." Under the revised operators' licence system titre will be five types of licenses: beginners' perm'ts, beginners' licenses, operators' licenses and two classes of chauffeurs’ licenses. The beginners’ permit will be issued to all persons who never 'before received an Indiana drivers' or chauffeurs license. It is assumed these persons, mostly young people, are not proficient in motor vehicle operations and the knowledge of costs 50 cents, will be good for 9U traffic laws. This permit, which days and must be carried at all times when driving. The holder must be accompaned by a licensed operator whenever he takes the wheel. Commissioner Finney explained the idea of this permit is to allow the new’ driver an opportunity to practice driving and familiarize himself with the regulations before he is called upon to demonstrate them to a license examiner. Youngsters under 18 who apply for beginners' permits must have their applications approved by parents or guardians. When the beginner has operated 90 days under his permit he applies for the examination. He then is issued a beginners' license it he passes the test. Persons holding this license will be divided into two groups: Those who have just passed the test after holding a beginners' permit and young people under IS who drove under operators licenses in 1937. This is necessary because the new law specifies no one under IS may be granted an operators’ license. Tlte approval of parent or guardian is necessary, also, for beginners’ licenses if the applicants are under 18. The beginners' license is good for one year and costs 50 cents, also. The licensee a’so receives a book of 12 report forms. On the first day of each month during the year he must file one of these forms with the bureau of motor vehicles or any local branch office. These 1 eports will show approximately how far he has driven and whether on not 'he has been arrested for violating the motor vehicle law during the past month. Failure to send in the reports will result in loss of his license. Commissioner Finney said, ; After completing 12 months under a beginners’ license, provided the licensee has committed no offense which resulted in his losing it, he can apply for an operator’s license. These, as previously, cost 59 cents and are good for one year. Yopng people who carry a beginner's license for a year and still have not attained the age of 8, must take out another beginners' license. Commissioner Finney emphasized that the system of beginners’ per- I mits, beginners’ licenses and examinations do not apply to motorists over 18 who held unrevoked licenses in 1937 unless their driving ability is questioned. The two other licenses are classifications of chauffeurs’ permits. Class one includes the family chauffeur and truck drivers. Class two takes in drivers of passenger and school! busses and taxis. First time applicants for class one chauffeurs’ licenses must be at least 18 and have operated successfully for a year or more, as well as passing the drivers' examination, .iolders of operators' licenres for 1935, 1936 and 1937, who never had them revoked or suspended, will be granted class one chauffeurs’ licenses without examination. Applicants for their first ciass' two chauffeurs' licenses must be 21 J or over and have passed not only the driving test but a physical examination. Applicants who held valid public passenger or Indiana

( chauffeurs' licenses tn 1935, 1936 ami 1937, need not take a driving test but still must undergo the I medical examination. Class two chauffeurs’ licenses allow the holders to operate any type of vehicle In Indiana without another kind of license. Class one lieI enses will serve in lieu of any other license for the operation of ali kinds t of vehicles except passenger busses, school busses and taxis. In explaining how the new licensing setup will work. Commissioner Finney said, "Many people have asked us why we do not examine all drivers. This is not feasible for several reasons. In the first place, thousands of Indiana people have 1 been driving for years without an accident. It is safe to assume these people are careful and will stay out of trouble. If they do not, we have an effective method of dealing with them. This increased power a’so is a feature of the new law. "We cannot hope by an examination to tell whether a driver will continue to have a safety minded attitude. 'Physiologists tell us no tests so far developed will do that. The examinations are not designed to eliminate a great number of people from driving. They are an educational process which will ' teach new drivers their responsibility when they use the highways. If they become reckless and violate safety laws, then we sha'l take their licenses away from them, i Thus, we have alert control over all drivers, whether they have been driving one year or several. “The new Indiana accident reporting law requires the drivers of all cars involved in an accident to report it within 24 hours. Therefore, we shall get more complete information about those operators who get into trouble. If they are found to be a fault and have not obst rved the law, state or local, we can deprive them of their right to drive for a sufficient period to impress them with the fact that safety 1 on the highways will be attained only when each driver does his part. “This reporting system is bolstered by the fact that judges also are required by law to report cunvic-' tions and police must report et rests. Our files at Indianapolis wil. have complete reports on each driver and we shall be able to tell at a glance whether or not he is abusing his privilege of using the streets and highways. In addition to these reports we shall file also com- I plainks made by people who feel that any motorist is driving recklessly and endangering others." Persons who expect to take the driving tests will shortly be able to study what they must know by obtaining a copy of "Indiana Drivers’ Guide". This booklet has been prepared by Commissioner Finney to explain the salient points of the motor vehicle laws. In compiling this booklet. Commissioner Finney studied accident reports, to determine the types of violations which most frequently resu’t in accidents in Indiana. Copies of “Indiana Drivers’ Guide’’ will be free and can be obtained from local branch managers of the motor vehicle bureau or directly from the Indianapolis office. —o —. !
