WHY NOT ENFORCE
THE TRAFFIC LAWS
AND REGULATIONS?
The Frontier received a communi
cation Tuesday from an O’Neill citi
zen who is much distressed over the
way cars are being driven in O’Neill
as well as in other parts of the state.
He recites that a number of boys
and girls under sixteen years of age
are driving cars in open violation of
the law; he is wondering if the driv
er’s license law will be enforced and
will stop this hazard; he also men
tions the fact that cars are being
driven on our streets with one head
light, without tail lights; many with
but one number plate and some with
out any plate. After one reads the
account of the auto accidents caused
by careless driving and improperly
equipped cars, one begins to realize
that unless something is done by the
local authorities to enforce the traf
fic rules, death will lurk in the vicin
ity of every car and may catch up
with any of us on any of the main
thoroughfares even though we are en
tirely within our rights. The terrible
accident at Plainview last Sunday
where two young people lost their
lives in a collision, all because they
did not observe the stop signal and
drove onto No. 20 directly in front
of another car is a gruesome remind
er of what will surely happen.
The laws are very plain in regard
to traffic and the condition that all
cars must be in before they can be
driven legally; every car owner or
driver should do his part toward
making driving safer by observing
traffic rules.
