Highway Point System Topic At Meeting In Court House At a meeting held in the Court House Wednesday the new approach to highway safety in North Carolina was explained j to automobile owners. Present at the meeting were Highway | Patrolmen Logan 3. Lane, R. A. Tripp and Mrs. Alice E. Futrell, driver education representative. The new point system was ex plained which calls for suspen sion of a driver’s license when a driver accumulates 12 points for moving 'i,affic violations within a period of two years. Each time a driver is convicted for a moving traffic violation, the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles is notified. Upon receipt o» such a notice j the driver’s record is charged I with a certain number of de merit points, and when these total 12 within a two-year period, his license may be sus pended. It is hoped the new system will substantially con tribute to safe driving on the highways.
