Mjmtter to thm Editor JKsBms New Law Hh Owhi Scoot Murphy, N. C. I have been waiting for some at the readers at The Scout to express (hair view* of the new lav that will, in effect, force the people to bojr inanrance before we can get a nH tag for our machine ? So here la some ci my views: la a* the Sate of North Caro lina run for the people and hy the people? When a matter comes up in the atate government that con cerns all of the people in the state isn't it our rights to have the op portunity to vote on It? Did we get that right? Who did the people in North Carolina in their best opin ion vote for? Our Constitutional rights gives us the right to buy a home, farm, car, truck or go into business for our selves. doesn't it? It doesn't say anything about making you do it? Where are our rights? Who built the network of highways in North Carolina? Who pays the taxes? Who buys your car and truck tags? We all know that the legislature makes and passes on all state laws, but they are supposed to be for the benefit of the majority of the people by vote. Why could they not pass a law that they could not transport an auto or truck into the state of North Carolina that would travel over 55 miles per hour, which is the speed limit? (Now there is your nut cracker). And you hear them on TV and radio bawl and bellow about the high way slaughter. But you can't hear them whimper about cutting the horsepower and speed of the auto and truck. No! No! that would never do Now. let us see what benefits the working and poor class of people are going to get. All right do you drive a new car? No I can't afford one. Do you own a used car? Yes. How old is it? Can you afford in surance without taking the bread out of your children's mouth to pay for it? These people are going to be de prived of private conveniences, too many to mention here. What about depriving you of your transportation to public wor ship? Would you like that?? What about out in the country where you live from one-half to ten miles from church- Would you walk? Think these few words over. Are we going to send them back to Raleigh next election? Thank you. Respectfully yours, V. L. KISSELBURG Culberson, N. C Max B. Denton Aboard Attack Cargo Ship , Max B.

License Plates To Be Sold Under New Law pn.l. CROWELL State Dept. of Motor Vehicles Raleigh. N* C. In four weeks North Carolina's new 1958 automobile license plates will go on sale under a law different from that with which Tar Heels have had experience. Tne title of the statute is the '1957 Ve hicle Financial Responsibility Act , but it is far better known as the "Compulsory Insurance Law. "Unless we can impress all auto mobile owners with the require ments of the new law. are going to suffer a great deal of trouble and delay when they seek to buy their plates between January 1 February 15," said Motor Vehicle Commissioner Edward Scheldt Scheldt listed the following ques tions as those the Department is most frequently asked, and gave the answer to each: tmy N?tk Liability insvreace below he cab boy his new 11c? M plate? An* war: Aim oat everyooe mast have inch insurance. The only ex caption to tboaa willing and able to poat $11,000 in cub or $19,000 surety bond; and tbe operators of fleets at twenty -flTe or mora ve hicles who qualify as self- insurers ' Question: Is an insurance policy an a man needs when be goes to get his license plate? Answer: Absolutely not When he buys his license plate over the counter or when he writes lor it, be will not need tbe policy It ?? if but he must have his "Form FS-1" Without the form itself he cannot get his license. Question: What is Form FS-1? Ansewer: Form FS-1 Is a ca nary-yellow colored certificate of insurance which is issued the lia bility policyholder by his insurance company. Question:: When will he receive his Form FS-1? Answer: Insurance companies ere supposed to mail these certifi cates to their North Carolina pol icyholders before January 1. If a person already carries insurance and does not receive his certificate by the end of the year, he should write for it- If he buys a policy just before purchasing his license plate, he should make sure the company furnishes him with the certificate Question: What kind- of insur ance is required? Answer: An owner's liability pol- ( icy which provides insurance for damage to persons or property caused by his motor vehicle and for which he is legally obligated to pay. Collision and comprehensive insurance, covering damages to his own automobile, does not meet the requirements of the law. Question: How much Insurance is required? Answer: The minimum policy provides up to $5,000 damage for the bodily injury or death of one person, up to $10,000 for the bodily injury or death of two or more per sons, and up to $5,000 for the dam age of property. Question: Can every automobile owner buy this insurance? Answer: Yes. The law includes an "assigned risk plan" which makes it possible for those hither to unable to obtain liability insur ance to get it after January 1 Question: How much will it cost? Answer: The cost of the motor ist policy depends on a number of , things, including his driving rec-l ord, the number and ages of the people who drive his car, his place j of residence and his occupation- : For those with a bad accident rec- . ord who must secure the insurance I ""a**"*" NOTICE IN TM SUPERIOR COVET uroumcuu NOBIS CAKOUNA CHEROKEE COUNTY FRED L.

Question: What about a used car for which a 1958 plate his been issued? Answer: The purchaser cannot legally operate it or retain the plate unless he obtains a certificate of insurance or otherwise complies with the law. The Form FS-l must be presented with the application for the transfer of the license and unless this is done the license plate must be surrendered. Commissioner Scheidt added that there are many other things about the new law which the mo torist should know. For that reas, on the Department has been mail ing out the 1958 automobile regis tration cards and is including with each one a leaflet entitled "New Requirements for License Plates." "I hope people read these," said Scheidt. "We are doing all in our power to inform the motoring pub lic about this new law. Those who are not informed, and who do not comply with the law when they seek to purchase their licenses, will lose a lot of valuable time. The law is so written that nobody ? and I do mean nobody? can get bis 1958 license plate unless he com plies with the Act."
