DRIVERINSURANCE | * LAWTOBE PUSHED Baltimore Councilman Will Urge Legislature to Strengthen Act. BY the Assoclated Press. .- BALTIMORE, July 7—City Coun- ellman Sydney R. Traub said today he planned a move to have the Legis- lature strengthen the automobile laws protecting the public frori reck- less drivers and those unable to pay for damages inflicted. .- “I mean to try to secure the pas- sage of a law which will provide that the motor vehicle commissioner shall not issue a license or title until the applicant has proved that he has taken out insurance,” Traub said. “And, believing that the bad me- chanical condition of used cars is responsible for some accidents, I think the motor vehicle commissioner should be required to examine such a car and make sure that it is in good con- dition before he issues a new title for it. Council to Sponsor Bill, “I shall prepare a resolution and introduce it in City Council, asking that a committee of that body be named to study the situation and § present the matter to the next Legis- s s lature.” The present law ‘provides for the revoking of the license of an automo- bile owner who does not satisfy a judgment for property or personal damage above $50 within 30 days after the judgment is entered. ‘The act further provides that those arrested on a charge of drunken driv- ing, failing to stop after an accident or involved in a fatal accident must | take out insurance to cover property damage of $1,000 or $5,000 for injury to one person or $10,000 for injury to two persons. 5,511 Such Accidents, Records at the office of Walter R. Rudy, motor vehicle commissioner, show that since the law became ef- fective January, 1932, a total of 5511 drivers have been involved in cases of drunken driving, failing to stop after an accident and accidents in which a fatality occurred. Of those drivers, 2,351 filed evidence they had taken out the required in- surance, the records showed the re- maining 3,160 presumably were de- prived of their licenses. Failure to satisfy judgements cost 712 drivers their licenses. Traffic Convictions DRIVING WHILE DRUNK. Willam H. Watson, 813 Twenty- third street, 45 days. Roy C. McGee, Anacostia, D. C., 30 days.
