Less Horsepower Less Killing in Highway Safety Appeal
An editorial urges stricter action against traffic violators to curb the rising highway death toll which surpassed 38 000 last year. It condemns racing at 70 to 80 mph and notes alcohol at the wheel as a major factor with many drunk drivers escaping punishment.
License revocation urged for drunk drivers
The text calls for permanent revocation of any driver operating a vehicle under the influence. It argues the public interest requires strict legal authority, or a substantial portion of drivers cannot be educated or deterred into safe practices. Drivers must be forced to obey or be deprived of driving privileges.
