service to its readersThe Edlinr RUDOLPH KING Regirirnr of Motor Vehicle Chairman Manneiluuh Highway Schiy Committi Every state should have periodic motor vehicle inspection law Experts cdnstantiy tell us and our records show that the states using this safety regulation have the lowest num ber of accidents caused by defective equipment We must recognize the impbrtance of maintaining motor vehicles in safe mechanical condition when operated upon the public Ways No airline would knowingly allow plane to take off it it were defective no railroad would knowingly run passenger train in any way defective and yet there are those who are not too concerned that thousands of motor vehicles upon our highways have defective equipment and are being driven day after day an congested highways menace to life and limb If we are to reduce traffic accidents and deaths on the highways oithc United States every state must have per iodic motor vehicle inspection We encourage people to visit in our respective states and thousands do so travelling by nutomobiie They should be allowed to travel only in cars that are mechanically safe The equipment section ina motor vehicle department is one of its most important units Among the many and varied functions of the equipment section should be motor How sure are your headlights Inspection programs tell you gm vehicle inspection The inspection program should be divided into two important parts first the school bus in spection which guarantees to great extent the safety of our children that is those children who use motor vehicle transportation to and from school and second the semi annual general inspection of all motor vehicles that protects the public as whole All school buses should be inspected at least every other month during the school year by properly trained and auth orized motor vehicleequipmentinspectors The safety uf our children is the most important single subject we can talk about and there should be no disregard of proper regulations for their protection vehicle found with defective equipment should be taken off the road at once or the owner given limited time in which to put it in safe condition depending on just what defects have been uncovered and how serious they may be There should also be requirementthot secondhand motor vehicles purchased between inspection periods be inspected within given number of days after registration Inspection of equipment of motor vehicles is made by Semiannual authorized inspection protects the motor ing public Lives depend upon your brakes lcaliy safe two different systems stateowned inspection station and privatelyowned statecontrolled inspection stations The value of these systems could be argued or days and possibly we would never come to solution satisfactory to everyone Regardless of the system used every state should adopt one of them The importance of vehicle inspection has too often been overlooked However those states which have made effec tive use of vehicle inspection as safety tool offer testimony to the fact that under appropriate administrative guidance such program can be major contribution to the economic well being of its citizens Appmximateiy one out of every three cars checked in recent nationwide sampling of vehicle condition was found to be in need of miiintcnonce attention to one or more parts affecting safe operation of the io items Satety Checked biiikes tires and lights stand out as parts most frequently in need of service attention The findings of inspection vary in details chccked how ever in 1954 Colorado reported defects in 198 of vehicles inspected New Hampshire reported 448 and Pennsyl vania reported 531 In New Jersey after 19 years of motor vehicle inspections approidmnteiy 40 of vehicles vehicle with defective equipment should be taken of the road at once perfectly functioning windshield wiper helps to see you safely through storm are rejected on their first appearance for the first inspection in 30 of these rejections the defect could have been dis covered by the driver in advance In Massachusetts where periodic motor vehicle inspections are held in April and October it is signiticnnt that with more than one and onehalf million motor vehicles regis tered there was slightly less than 1200 violators who were cited for noncompliance with the law after the April in spectibn and but 537 violators following the October inspec tion This is concrete proof that the motoring public wiii respond and cooperate when the law is properly admin istered It is worthy of note that on national average about per cent of all vehicles involved in accidents had defec tive equipment while in Massachusetts where welhave com puisory inspection less than one per cent of automobiles involved in accidents had defective equipmentproving the needvand value of having cars serviced for safety periodically The next and final article in this series That We Become Nation of Better
