Educate the man at the wheel and you reduce your accidents. “Such a law would just place another expense on the motorist. And they are already overtaxed now. There are laws on our statute books now giving police power to take cars oft the streets that have defective lights or that are regarded as dangerous. I think we should enforce the laws we have and not worry about any new ones.”
