Hear Capt. Speed
Capt. C. A Speed, commanding
officer of Troop E, State Highway
Patrol of Aaheville, was the prin
cipal speaker at the Andrews Lions
Club meeting last Thursday.
Capt. Speed compared the over
all total number of deaths in all
U. S. wars from 1775 through 1951
to the total traffic deaths from
1889 through 1951. Although the
period of American history Cover
ed 177 years, while the period of
auto usage covered only some 40
to 50 years, the millionth death by
each cause was recorded within
three months of one another.
Capt. speed listed me two top
causes of fatal auto accidents as
<li speed and (2) drinking drivers j
In graphic actual clinical cases, he
painted the horrible results of ac
cidents In each case.
He gave statistics which prove
conclusively that speed limits have
a definite Relationship with the
number of accidents. Capt. Speed
stated flat records show that
states having 55 miles per hour
speed limits, and over, led the na
tion in the number of accidents.
States with a SO mile per hour
limit had 20% less deaths; while
the state of Massachusetts which
ha* a 40 MPH limit had 49.3% |
fewer deaths than the national av
erage.
Capt. Speed deplored the ever
increasing ntimber of drinking
drivers. He stated that alcoholism
was fast becoming a major prob
lem in America.
Capt. Speed listed two major
problems facing the NC State
Highway Patrol. One was the com
parative low salary scale of patrol
men. rhe second problem was a
lack of judicial facilities to take
care of traffic violations promptly.
The oicture of death on the
highways as shown by Capt. Speed
was a glum one. However, he of
"ered what were, in his opinion,
some ways of harnessing this gi
gantic killer; (1) A compulsory
education program in all high
schools where youngsters are ef
fectively taught the danger and the 1
responsibility Involved in driving
a car. (2) State adoption of "alco
hol content tests" whereby, quite
simply, it can be proved whether
or not .1 driver is intoxicated. (3)
Traffic courts in each county, with
a competent lecturer, which can
employ the psychological approach
in convincing drivers that safe
driving is the only sane driving.
In conclusion Oapt. Speech plac-1
I 4U- Lt-. * J
?d the blame for traffic deaths
squarely on the individual citizen.
He stated that it is *up to the peo
ple to arouse public opinion.
