Citizens urged to report traffic violations to safety department
The Iowa State Safety Department asks the public to send letters reporting dangerous highway driving. Kenneth F Neu says many complaints prompt action from the Drivers License Division, including re examinations for high risk motorists. Observers should include time place and vehicle details with license number and driver name if possible. The department tracks violations from local reports and uses the driver improvement program to curb repeat offenders, noting a 100 percent drop in fatal accidents involving drivers with prior records in the first nine months of this year.
