Unpopular though it may be, such legislation will uncover dangerous mechanical defects that motorists ought to know about. However, it will be a great mistake if officials of the Old North State, with their emphasis on inspection, give Tar Heels the foolish notion that highway deaths result chiefly from vehicles in need of oveimaulmg. This editor doesn’t qualify as an expert, but a third of a century covering hundreds of fatal accidents has convinced us that the vast majority of those who die on the road are victims of speed, intoxication, or a combina tion of both. Neither super highways nor periodic safety checks can be counted on to reduce the slaughter to a consid erable extent. North Carolina will continue to have more than a thousand travelers killed annually until something is done to get at the true source of this needless destruc tion. There can be recklessness without speed, and some of the most dangerous drivers are cold sober. Even so, of the hundreds of highway deaths we have covered on our news beat at least three fourths resulted from fast or drunken driving. If you doubt the percentage we have arrived at, you’re invited to join us in the none too pleasant job of checking traffic fatalities first hand. In due time you’ll undoubtedly come up with a percentage very much like ours. What North Carolina needs above everything else, if it hopes to reduce the slaughter, are juries who will convict the guilty and judges who will make punishment severe enough. t y r Onlythen can we expect less blood letting. Too |Mllhittttfi|UdiliiSBS.]g£kJll§courage or conscience ■ to do their duty when thesrfind themselves in the jury box. To say the situation is a disgrace is putting it mildly. Here again, if you doubt what we’re saying you need only to attend a few sessions of court. Then, and only then, will you realize how many drunken drivers are allowed to continue their nattern of behavior until they kill themselves or more often someone else. Yes, safety checks are fine, but let’s stop kidding ourselves and face the real problem. If we ever do, a lot of folks will live longer.
