Accidents Blamed Upon Small Group More than 90 per cent of the traffic accidents in Oregon are caused by less than seven per cent of the motorists, R. H. Baldock. state highway engineer, declared Thursday. "The highways cannot be made safe for automobile drivers and pedestrians until the courts crack down on reckless operators", Bal dock said. "The records show that a few of the drivers cause virtually all of the trouble." Baldock declared that two con victions for drunken or reckless driving should be sufficient for revocation of a drivers permit over a long period of- time. The highway engineer also said the low license fee had resulted in many mechanically unfit cars be ing operated on the roads. "Super highways apparently have not solved the accident prob lem in Oregon," Baldock con cluded.
