1937 drivers' license laws results
in 21 decrease in
Mere than 11,087 reckless and
incompetent drivers were taken
off Indiana highways last year as
a result of the new drivers' license
law enacted in the 1937 session of
the State legislature, according to
Edwurd C. Banta, investigator for
the Indiana Bureau of Motor
Vehicles.
"The effect of the driving test
law can be seen in the 21 percent
reduction in the number of auto
mobile fatalities in Indiana in
1938," Banta said. 'Trior to Jan. 1,
1938, when the driving law went
into effect, the number of deaths
caused by automobile accidents
was increasing each year."
Because of unfavorable driving
records, 2,536 persons were re
quired to file proof of financial re
sponsibility and an accident insur
ance policy before securing their
1939 driver's license.
During the year 193, a total of
110,900 examinations were given
