Safe Driver Insurance Plan Faces Equity Questions
SECOND THOUGHTS on California's pioneer Safe Driver Insurance plan reveal inequities and deficiencies. The plan offered 20 percent premium savings for drivers with no accidents or moving violations in three years while penalizing others with higher rates. Critics point to penalties for minor or innocent incidents, loopholes for non participating firms, and heavy paperwork. If not fixed, the system could burden courts and taxpayers and threaten the state insurance market.

Master Plan Delays New California Colleges Past 1941
Education committees in the Assembly and State Senate vote to pause all new state colleges and UC campuses beyond those already approved until 1941. A master plan will then set California higher education needs for the next decade, urging value with scarce education funds. The two-year campus moratorium does not affect Orange County State College or the planned UC campus. The masters urge unification of the state college system and the university, recognizing state colleges as advanced learning centers.

Take Em Off the Road Policy Eases DMV Rules
Sacramento reports the Department of Motor Vehicles will consider nonprofessional drivers who use their cars heavily in work under a new Take Em Off the Road policy. About 5,000 licenses may be suspended in April, against 11,000 in all of 1958. The policy, replacing Keep em Driving, will still suspend professional drivers for at least five days and so called pleasure drivers for at least ten days. The DMV will weigh how much the vehicle is used by each driver when applying suspensions under the Motor Vehicle Code.
