DESERVE N0 LHVIENCY

(Thomson Dailies)

For some perverse reason an alarming number of persons who otherwise are good citizens will persist in drivfnx their oars while under the influence of liquor. Should anyone 81188939 tiring I shot from a revolver blindly along a busy street, many of these driv- ers would be highly shocked. Yet liy driving their automobiles after taking a drink. they endanger more lives than one bullet could.

one often hears the claim that me person in question drives better after a drink or two. The driver who makes this statement is ten times more dangerous even than the man who knows he is drunk-the latter at least will take .1 certain amount of care. What actually happens, of course.is that the driver who has had ii. drink or we takes more chances, hesitates 1.35;, cuts in closer to other cars. darts in and out of traffic, while others hesitate. He feels that by doing so he is "driving better".

Eventually one of three things happens. Now and then the driver .-rashes into a post or -embank- inc-nt, harming no one other than himself. and desreving no sym- pathy.

Again, he may crash into some other car; or strike a pedestrian or ii child. In this event he de- sEFV06 no lneiency. The third thing mm may happen is that police officers may notice his condition and place him under arrest before he has a chance to harm himself, his car. or anyone elS.e

in the latter case, actually, that driver is most fortunate. Rarely, however, is he man enough to re- aiize this fact, and benefit by the lesson. Instead he will rave about the police, how "dirty" they are. and so on.

Too often he pays the prescribed nnc, serves the statutory term, and goes out to drink and drive again. The illusion of ability to drive while under the influence of alcohol remains forever.

It would appear that only one course is open for the authorities in such a case. In the interest of public safety. when 2- person has been found guilty of d:nink driving for a second time. that person's driving permit should be cancelled.

And as a preventive measure. SIIICE the 15-day jail term has proved insufficient to cause would- be first offenders to hesitate, a minimum sentence of at least three or even six months in con- finement should be imposed.

This business of allowing alco- hollcs behind the wheel of a hurtling machine must stop. and how is the time to act. before thousands more high-speed motor oars flood the market.
