Time to Stop Fooling Around Gov Ribicoff Orders Tough Highway Crackdown
Gov Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut imposes sweeping measures to curb reckless driving. He orders state police to enforce traffic laws, requires local courts to strictly uphold highway laws, and threatens reappointment forfeiture for noncooperation. The Motor Traffic Commissioner will suspend licenses for first speeding offenses and shorten times for repeat offenses. The move aims to reduce highway death rates and signals intensified enforcement statewide.

New England States Alarmed Over Highway Death Rate
Governors implement highway safety programs as death toll rises to about four daily. Ribicoff’s power to appoint officials could influence deterring factors. State Police arrests, local courts trials, and the traffic commissioner’s license suspensions form a coordinated approach. If the triple threat reduces deaths, other governors may adopt similar methods.
