The ghastly total of 284 persons |. killed in traffie accidents on the high-/| ways of Florida during the first half of | this year, representing an increase of one- fifth over the same period of 1933, is evi- | dence enough that something must be done | to create greater safety for the public of the state. Asher Frank, safety director, reveals there were more than 1200 auto accidents | last month with 35 deaths resulting. Possibly the best method to start on an accident reduction drive is to study the methods tried in other areas. This study the Florida Planning board has made, and its recent report produces some concrete suggestions. One of these is the requirement for semi-anmial inspection of the safety- features of all automobiles. Modern cars have reliable safeguards, but the average owner rarely repairs his machine until a bint Mey We: part breaks or wears out. This inspection j Sanford, of would require him to keep his machine in }riculture tip-top condition. Fs But studies have revealed that only a} small proportion of accidents are caused by mechanical failure. The rest are due to the human factor. | There are a host of safety rules of the ! road that would eliminate practically all of our present accidents, but human nature is human nature and people will not ob- serve rules unless they are required to do so.

Such a program cannot be provided until the next session of the legislature, but now is the time to consider it. Such’ a patrol would have two func- tions. . One is to make autoists observe the normal safety rules, such as no passing of | other cars on curves, hills and _ intersec- tions, blocking of “road hogs” and requir- ing proper lights. This other duty of the patrol would be to act as state peace officers in captur- ing fleeing criminals. For this purpose, the board suggests the construction of | shortwave radio stations.
