Oregon's more than l.OOO.MO
drivers are now faced with
several new traffic laws to obey
including, a stricter penalty lor
one violation, and some new
and revised oblicatlons concern
ins auto insurance coverage in
an accident.
Although manv law changes
made bv the 1167 Legislature
took effect September 13. others
become effective at varying
times during the next year, ac
cording to the Department ot
Motor Vehicles.
One change is still nearly a
vear off. This change will in
crease the minimum financial
responsibility requirements for
bodily injury liability and unin
sured motorists coverage from
SS.OIX). StO.CHX) to SO.000 20,1X10.
The change will take effect
Julv 1, 196S, To the average car
owner it may mean a $6 to $8
increase in private insurance
rates.
Another law relating to finan
cial responsibility took ef
fect on September 13 this year.
It will require a driver without
insurance, who has a traffic ac--i.u.nt
arwi uhn must file a cer
tificate of Insurance as proof of
financial responsibility, to file
a statement of ownership show
ing that the certificate covers
all vehicles registered in his
name, not just the one in the
accident.
Among the new laws which
will affect over the-road opera
tion of cars is a vehicle inspec-
rinn lnvi- wh irh will nermit no
tice to stop vehicles for a safe
: tv inspection on reasonable
grounds.
I For example, a car with one
! headlight broken, a cracked
! windshield, or a generally run
down appearance, or one which
has trouble stopping, could be
sufficient cause ' reasonable
groundsi for an officer to stop
' it for a spot inspection of all
' required equipment.

year. One law will require slow
moving vehicles on two-lane
roads to pull over and pel mil
faster moving traffic to pass.
Also, when traveling outside of
cities on four lane highways,
vehicles must keep in the right
lane unless traveling faster
than or passing other traffic.
This is aimed at putting an end
to two vehicles traveling side-by-side
down the freeway, hold
ing back other traffic.
As a general rule, you prob
ably will he considered a slow
moving vehicle any time you
travel slower than the normal
flow of traffic and cause a
string of cars to form behind
you. When this happens, it's
time to pull over and let faster
ttaffic around at the first safe
spot to do so.
Bicycles, parades, and pedes
trians are the subject of anoth
er law that takes effect next
month. This law will make it
possible to restrict them from
freeways when appropriate;
signs are posted giving notice !
to that effect. Pedestrians, how- j
ever, w ill be permitted when It ;
Is necessary for them to walk !
on the shoulder to obtain emer-
gency service for a disabled ve- 1
hide. i
Motorcycles, which in recent
years have become a bigger
part of the state's motorized
population, also nceived legis
lative attention this year.
Cycles Must Use Lights
The 1967 action requires a j
motorcycle to use its headlluht
at any time it is in motion. This
took effect September 13. In
January, still another law aim
ed at motorcycle drivers and
passengers will take effect. It
w ill require them to wear a hel- j
met which meets standards es -!
tablished by the Department of
Motor Vehicles.
Also scheduled to take effect
January 1. HHi i.s another law
dealing with slow moving traf
fic. It will not permit vehic les
I designed to go 2i mph or less
i tractors, for example i to opei
late on state highways without
displaying a slow moving ve
hicle emblem which by day Is
a fluorescent orange and by
night shows a reflective red
border. The sign has a triang- ;
ular shape. The requirement for
this emblem is in addition to
any lighting required by law. i
Another law now in effect
increases the penalty for a driv
er who is convicted of driving
on a suspended driver's license.
The penalty currently is a max- ;
! imum $500 fine, or six months
in jail, or both. It will double
' next month $1,000 fine, one
year in jail, or both. This charge
already carries a minimum stip
ulation of two days in jail, up
on conviction.
The revised law also requires
! impounding a vehicle owned by
a person convicted on this
j charge. The vehicle can be im-
pounded from 30 to 120 days
from the date of judgment and
the person is liable for all ex
I penses incurred for the removal
and storage. The aim of this
measure is to reduce the num-
ber of people who drive while
suspended.
I Still another new law will
I permit a driver to attempt to
I partially regain his driving
I privilege when his license has
j been suspended after conviction
!of driving under the influence
i of liquor or attempting to elude
la police officer. The Department
! of Motor Vehicles may issue an
! occupational license only for
' work to persons convicted of
these charges, providing it i.s
the first offense, the convictng
judge makes the recommenda
ition, and the Department agrees
I with the judge's recommenda
i tion.
I Discretion Urged
I The Governor has directed the
DMV to use- extreme discretion
i in issuing these work licenses
I and to prepare a report on the
i impact of the law prior to the
next legislative session.
The law is aimed at reducing
the number of drunken driving
charges which are reduced to
reckless driving because of
court hesitancy to convict on a
I first offense when it results in
a mandatory 90-day license loss.
This loss often jeopardizes em
ployment. Changes also were made In
laws concerning registration
and titling of vehicles.
It should now become easier
for the DMV to keep records
current with a new requirement
that registered owners must
I provide the Department with
any change of address or name
different tha,n that which ap
pears on the registration card.
i The notice must be filed with-
j in 30 days.
I New owners also will be giv
! en more time, an increase of
from 10 to 30 days, in which to
I file a title transfer- with the
i Department when they purchase
a car.
Finally, one new law already
has taken effect and was legal
i for Vk months before it became
