Traffic Judge John D. ‘Watts, one of the originators of the program, gave some statistics:

oe dy-the-first-four- months of “1950 Detroit had 18,211

accidents, an increase of 30 per cent over the same period in 1949. “During this period 69 persons were killed, a 10 per cent increase, and 4500 persons injured.” : Judge Watts and his partner, Judge George T. Murphy, then issued a sharp decree: eT - Anyone convicted of driving 15 miles an hour or more over the established speed limit would goto. jail. (Detroit's speed limit is 25 miles an hour except where otherwise posted.)

“We don't think the 15-mile figure is too tough,” |

Traffic Director James M. Lupton said. “Anyone can drive five miles over the speed limit and not realize it. But when you get 15 miles over—if you're lent at allen You know what you're Song. »
