Oregon Traffic
Deaths
A series of weekly articles on
the problem of Highway Safety
by Earl Snell, Secretary of State.
Approximately a quarter of a
million Oregon motor vehicle oper
ators have applied to my office dur
ing the oast thirty days for a renewal
of their drivers' licenses. It is expect
ed that another hundred thousand
applications will be received during
the present month, and that all of
these licenses will be in the hands
of the applicants before the first of
August.
Proper handling of this work con
stitutes a considerable problem, as
well as being an important factor in
safety work. The actual writing and
mailing of the license cards is a com
paratively small matter, but to see
that they are placed only in the
hands of people who are able to meet
the requirements considered neces
sary for safe driving involves a
large amount of checking and per
sonal investigation. This constitutes
a responsibility that I am .conscien
tiously trying to meet, and at the
same time give as prompt service as
possible.
Defective vision, lack of know
ledge of the motor vehicle laws, in
ability to properly handle a car and
many other reasons compel the li
cense division to reject hundreds of
applicants, in the interests of safety.
Proper licensing of drivers is a
heavy responsibility, but only thru
a strict compliance with the law is
it possible for the department to do
its part in helping to eliminate Ore
gon's traffic deaths.
