MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOF-D. OREGON WEDNESDAY. APRIL 25. 196Z Legislation (or Traffic Safety Is on Increase By RAY FARKAS United Presi International Washington - IITU - Every body talks about traffic safe ty - even the President. But it is mostly up to the states to do something about it. President Kennedy, who has his own committee on traffic safety, recently said the mat ter was one that "affects ev erybody." The states are giving the subject increasing attention. For example, figures supplied by the National Highway Users conference show 25 states enacted legislation in 1961 strengthening standards for motor car equipment. Seven state - Georgia, Kan sas, Montana, Nevada, Ore gon, Utah and Washington -tightened licensing laws to require that driver applicants submit their driving records in their last state or residence. Though no states enacted new vehicle inspection laws, five took it under study. Oklahoma and New Hamp shire set up departments spe cifically concerned with safety-Driver Education Eight state put laws on their books relating to driv er education and restricted licenses for drivers under 18. The trend in almost every instance was toward requir ing completion of a driver ed ucation course before licens ing. Three states made it tough er on drivers who drink by enacting chemical test laws. Five others strengthened their existing laws. Five states upped the min nimum insurance coverage its drivers must carry. Turn signals, headlights and the lighting of vehicles was the subject of legislation '.ti 14 states. Reflectors, flares and fuses, brake fluid - name it. Some state legislatures made these requirements tougher. Even the obvious wasn't overlooked. Florida made it legislative ly clear that drivers must keep their ears on the right hand side of the road when approaching a railroad cross ing. And Maine took action against another p r o b lem, though it may not rank as the worst in the annals of traffic safety. It prohibited driving in reverse on a one way street.
