Driver Examination
Continues In Effect
Despite information to the contrary,
the program calling for re-examina
tion of drivers in North Carolina is
continuing in force, Major Sam L.
Gaynor, assistant director of the Di
vision of Highway Safety of the De
partment of Motor Vehicles, points
■out.
“Some drivers in the State are un
der the impression that a bill is pend
ing in the General Assembly doing
away with the re-examination of
drivers,” Major Gaynor said. “Con
sequently re-examination in the Ra
leigh area has dropped off 50 per
cent. Comparable conditions are be
