Highway Safety Promotion By Vehicles Dept. RALEIGH - A survey by the Department of Motor Vehicles reveals that the State Highway Patrol has an "alarming level" of serious-charge cases await ing trial in courts throughout the state. The report compiled by DMV's Accident Records Sec tion, indicated that there are now a total of 9,423 Patrol cases (driving under the Influence careless and reckless, racing, and speeding over 75 mph)which have not been tried. Some of these cases are more than 18 months old. A breakdown indicates there are 6,6521968 cases, 2,313 1967 cases, and 458 cases re maining on the state court dockets which date back beyond 1967. However, the report Indicates that the new district courts are "greatly improving the timeli ness and the uniformity of jus tice ... but there are notable exceptions toboth within specific areas." Motor Vehicles Commis sioner Ralph L. How land echoed the findings of the report con cerning the district couts. He said: "We who are charged with the administration of high way safety programs believe the installation of the district court system in all counties will bring a fairer, firmer and more equitable treatment of all traf fic cases." Howland pointed out that he ordered the study . . . "How ever." he stated, "no analysis can be made of the extent of local police department arrests for traffic violations since the department receives only the conviction notices from the courts on local law enforcement cases." In another area examined by the survey, it was learned that the courts are falling farther behind in "disposing of the more serious charges as the Patrol brings more and more of these cases before the courts." During the first six months of 1968, total Patrol arrests in all categories studied totaled 154,396. In that same period the courts disposed of 148,087 cases . . . a difference of 6,303. The report specified that the courts are able to keep abreast of the less serious charges. However, in DUI cases many persons charged are not tried in a reasonable time. Almost 1,500 drunk driving cases are on the dockets from 1967 arrests while 269 date back even farther. "A look at the difference in handling DUI cases in the 22 counties with the district court system as compared to the re malnder of the state is very revealing", Commissioner How- utno said. A statistical breakdown shows 2,227 DUI cases tried in district courts during 1967 with 1,710 persons guilty as charged and 335 persons guilty of a reduced charge. This represents a 76.8 per cent guilty as charged and 15 per cent guilty of a lesser of fense. On the state level, other than those 22 counties, the per centage reads 68.2 per cent guilty as charged and 25. 7 guilty of a lesser charge. The District courts also have fewer 1967 DUI cases pending on the docket 131 or 5.5 per cent of the total. In other courts the number of 1967 DUI cases still Dendlne are 13.3 ner cent - a total number of 1,339 cases.'-. "Disposition of charges of racing, speeding over 75 mph, and careless and reckless, fol low much the same pattern," Howland said of the report. The report, compiled by Joe Register who heads DMV's Ac-I cldent Records Section, shows 5,752 total DUI cases still pend ing across the state, 2,040 speeding over 75 mph cases, 1,468 careless and reckless cases and 163 racing cases. Register said he had a com plete breakdown on arrests and cases pending in the four cate gories studied which Is avail able from the Public Information Office of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
