Enforcement of traffic regulations
is much more severe in California
than in Oregon, according to Orville
Spear, of Los Angeles, former resi
dent of this city, who with his
family visited friends here during
the past week.
“If you are taken up by a traf-
fic officer in California you are
stuck for a stiff fine, They don’t
monkey with $5 and $10 fines any
more.
You may be taken for a
minor offense and it is found that
you haven’t a driver’s license.
That is $10 or $20 more. If you
haven’t a certificate showing that
your lights have been inspected,
that is $10 or $20 more. If your
brakes are found to be defective,
that is $10 or $20 more. You sel
dom get off with less than $25. A
wage earner working with me was
soaked $45 merely because he was
charged with forcing another car
off onto the shoulder of the road,
when as a matter of fact the other
car voluntarily took the shoulder.
“For a time it became the style
in Los Ajigeles to put traffic viola
tors in jail and at one time there
were so many prisoners who had
violated the traffic laws that pri
vate places had to be found out
side the jail in which to keep them.
“However, traffic laws have got
to be rigidly enforced in order to
hold down the toll of damage to
life and property. The multiplicity
of motor accidents is really serious.
Careless driving should be severely
dealt with but I like better the
attitude of your state officers, who
confine their efforts largely to edu
cating the driving public.
“You have one regulation that
is ridiculous—that of requiring the
dimming of headlights. I know of
no other state with such a regula
tion. Dimming headlights on dan
gerous, unfamiliar roads, is positive
ly productive of motor accidents.
In California your lights must meet
a certain requirement, must be un
der a certain candlepower and must
be correctly focused. Having incor
rect lights draws a stiff fine, but
when the lights are those required
by law, driving against them is
easy compared to driving with spot
lights and dimmed headlights.
“I don’t know why Californians
should beef about fines imposed in
Oregon for traffic offenses. They
get stiffer fines in California. Of
course they beef at home but it
does them no good.”
