Safety Council Pushes Teeth in Ohio Driver License Law
Middletown Safety Council meeting urged the state Senate to sponsor a law making safety lanes compulsory in Ohio. The group backed compulsory auto safety checks and approved a stunt to drop an old car from 80 feet to show collision effects. Council director Paul E. Wilson will respond to eight questions from Senator Evert Addison and arrange a public demonstration. Letters citing dangerous traffic were read, with two hazards sent to Police Chief Carmody for review, including Sunset Park concerns and a mother warning of risks to children from park congestion and street crashes.
