Auto and the Blood Test in Drunk-Driving Law
A reader-like column reflects on New York's law making blood alcohol a court evidence in drunken driving. It imagines a world of on-site chemists, needle tests within two hours of collisions, and the humor and fear of early 20th century policing as traffic and weddings collide. Silent vignettes from everyday life, quotes and jokes accompany the piece.
