Iowa Sees Little Effect From Tougher Penalties Yet
Des Moines IA State officials predict the impact of stiffer traffic penalties may not be felt until year end as 50 VASCAR speed timing units come online. Safety Commissioner Jack Fulton cites rising deaths and surging mileage, noting new car safety features helped drop deaths in 1966 but not in 1967. He expects federal grant funding of about 42000 for the units and training for 50 patrolmen, with local use to follow, aiming to reduce speeding through broader enforcement.
