New Laws Aim at Motorists and Highway Patrol Changes
New and amended statutes from the 1973 session affect drivers and patrol operations. Changes include license fee increases to 6 dollars and a 10 dollar chauffeur fee on Jan 1, 1974, mandatory reexamination after certain accidents or two moving violations in a year, and expanded renewal notices with eye sight forms and manuals. Patrol staffing rose to 345 officers July 1, 1973, with superintendent pay up to 17,000 dollars. Bicycle reflectors become required on post 1974 models, and driver licenses gain a black and white photo from July 1, 1973. Also, drivers blocking traffic must yield, handlebars on motorcycles cannot place hands above shoulders, and breath test refusals trigger a hearing right before possible license suspension.
