Truckers Safety Meeting Honors Safe Drivers in Hobbs
A Hobbs gathering at the American Legion Hall brought trucking firms together to honor a safe driver and discuss reducing county highway accidents. Sheriff Trimble led a threefold agenda: cut the county's highway toll, find safety improvements, and form an employee education group. Street courtesy, not breaking laws, was stressed as key to lowering crashes, while Otis Haley of the state patrol noted 80 percent of accidents stem from driver deficiencies, with road defects and vehicle faults contributing 8 and 12 percent respectively.
