Driver - Licensing Laws Promote Highway Safety By THOMAS L. LENTZ Today there are hundred* of peo ple whc uk: "What 1* the purpose of drive*- licensing law?" Driver licensing laws exist for the pur pose Of promoting safe and sensible conduct' on the public highways. This Is accomplished by denying to those who are physically or mental ? jly Incompetent (for safe motor vehicle operation) the authorization to operate motor vehicles, and, secondly, by taking away a previ ously ganted authorization when a driver's conduct has stamped him as dangerous, or when his condi tion has changed so that be Is no longer a safe driver. It Is said that there are three big "E's" which are fundamental to highway safety: Education, En forcement. and Engineering. Work of the examiner does not fall Into the engineering classification for be does not go out and survey roads or streets, straighten out dangerous curves, or provide for effective traffic signal devices But his work does come under the two classifications of enforcement and education. He enforces tha stand ards for licensing established by law and by regulation of the De partment of Motor Vehicles, and he has a unique opportunity for education in traffic safety. Examiners are In the business of educating every driver in the prop er and sensible methods of motor j Vehicle operation. An important (unction la to educate every driv er In the observance of certain Tules of the road, and to help de velop the proper attitude on the jpart of the driver so that the driv er will act sensibly and safely, Whether he is traveling a four lane boulevard or Jogging along a hack-country road. Today a great tnany accidents are caused by the pttitude a person takes when they are behind the wheel of a motor Vehicle. x There are approximately l,790r 000 people today who hold drivers' licenses Issued by North Carolina. Cach four years every dyrtver is re-examined and Issued a new li cense. Chauffeurs are re-examined *cach year. Thus, every motorist of the state at some time during each (our years comes before a license examiner. This Is the main contact Which the state government has With Its dtlaens. No other depart ment makes such a mass, statewide personal contact with the public. The Highway Patrol will contact Just a fraction of the motorist pop 1 uUtion ? those who are vtolaUnc the law or who are auapected of doini ao. The general rule of the driver licensing law is that no person shall operate a motor vehicle on any highway in the state unless such perion hss first been licensed as an operator of chauffeur by the Department of Motor Vehicles The minimum age for an opera tor's license Is 16 before a person is entitled to apply for such li cense. In addition, the statutes pro vide thai if he has i)ot yet reached his eighteenth birthday, his appli cation must be signed by either parent, his legal guardian; the husband or wife of the minor (a husband or wife under 18 may sign), or the employer of the min or. A person must be at least 18 years of age before he is entitled to fcpply for a chauffeur's license. Such chauffeur's license Is valid for the operation of a private pas senger-carrying vehicle, and a ve hicle transporting property. A person must be at least 21 years of age before he is entitled to an unrestricted chauffeur's li cense. valid for the operation of public passenger-carrying vehicles (common carrier busses, and taxi cabs). An applicant for a chauf feur's license need not hold a valid license of any type before he ap plies for license of this type if he meets the age limit and passes the required examinations given.
