The judge looks down Zrom the bench at the 'defendant as he completes his .sentencing, “.. . you shall be 'confined to the slate • penitentiary » >r not less than jone nor luore than five years.” The defendant has not been found guilty of being a ’burglar, embezzler, or thief — he is a hazardous driver. More correctly, under Virginia law, an ‘‘Habitual 1 Offender” —a driver with more than three convictions of serious traffic offence*. He has also been found guilty of driving a vehide after his license was revoked under provbrona of. UK ‘‘Habitual Offender** ait? Heading the drive for modem traffic laws and their enforcement is the Consumers Insurance Information Buxeau^ sponsored by the National Association of Lisurance’ Agents and its 150,000 independent agent members. The Virginia Association of Insurance Agents was instrumental in the passage of that state's strict law. Subsequent to Virginia’s lead in 1968, similar legislation has been passed 111 several other states including iMaine and Massachusetts in 1971. Indiana is expected to 'enact such a law in early 1972. Many communities have stiffened traffic regulations, lor example,in Baton Rouge, La., a police officer may request a breath test of a suspected drunk driver before placing him under arrest. If the suspect refuses the lest, he is liable to fines of S2OO and or a jail sentence up to 60 days. The city’s citizens approve of the law and drunk driving arrests, after testing, are up 300 per cent. These tough laws and

The CHB's national program has the following goals: 1. Insist on a minimum criteria for legislation in ail 50 states. 2. Demand strict enforcement of laws by local and state police —without fear or favor. 3. Insist on strict enforcement of laws by the courts and urge courts to impose jail sentences rather than fines on habitual offenders. _ 4. Require periodic tests for health and vision. * •'nr - *'*'

others similar have been - enacted because in 1971, an estimated 55,000 people were killed and nearly 5 million - injured in motor vehicle accidents throughout the United States. Studies show that approximately 96 per rent of the nation's 110 million licensed drivers are conscientious, careful drivers. Among the remaining five per cent lurks the habitual offender. He is the speed maniac, the hit-run driver, the irresponsible motorist who skips through stop signs, weaves through traffic, is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and who by his record shows a disregard for traffic lawsand the safety of himself and others. The immediate aim of the Consumers Insurance Information Bureau is to get the habitual offender and especially the drunk driver off the highway. Through the Bureau, the consumer is being reminded that he can participate directly in this campaign by demanding action from public officials to update old laws, strengthen weak laws and enforce all Jaws. A rallying point for this

consumer activism ia that in addition to causing carnage and destruction, the habitual offender ia a major, direct cause of ristag auto insurance* costs. For, aside from the tragedy of death and injury, the Bureau estimates in 1971 there were some 22.5 million vehicle, accidents in the United States resulting in an economic loss of well over sl6 billion. According to the Bureau, alcohol is the primary cause of the traffic fatalities. Quoting the National Safety Council, it says “If all the’ causes of highway accidents* could be eliminated except, one — 50 per cent of the total problem would still have to be solved. The one major cause of all traffic fatalaties involves drinking and driving.” Progress is under way in many states to tighten driving regulations, but much more remains to be done. Through its 150,000 members, the National Association of Insurance Agents plans to generate community support for the drive against the habitual offender. 4
