Iowa Safety Responsibility Law discussed in Fayette meeting
Edna Woodward led a West Union program explaining the Safety Responsibility Law as part of a statewide drive by the Department of Public Safety. About ninety people from civic and farm groups attended while Sheriff Fred A. House chaired. The law requires drivers to prove they can pay damages after accidents with injuries or $50 property loss, effective Oct. 1, with proof due within sixty days or risk license suspension. The rule allows three proof paths including insurance coverage of $5,000 for one death, $10,000 for multiple deaths, and $1,000 for injuries.
