Columbia, December 1 — South
Carolina’s new Safety Responsibil
ity Act which went into effect
Janaury 1, has resulted in the
suspension of 6,454 drivers’ licenses
for failure to post security during
its first nine months of existence.
Another 2,219 driver licenses were
suspended during the same period
for failure to report .accidents.
Cumulative records of the High
way Department’s Safety Responsi
bility section show that 9,007 se
curity notices have been mailed out
thus far this year. These notices are
sent to drivers involved in accidents
to notify them that the Department
has no record of their having insur
ance in effect to cover the damages.
If proof can be given that a policy
was in effect at the time of the mis
hap, the notice is withdrawn.
Of the 6,454 licenses withdrawn
for failure to post security, 4,222
were returned after security was
posted. Also, 1,231 of the licenses
suspended for failure to complete
accident reports were reinstated

withdrawn in security cases, 6,521
license plates were suspended for
failure to post security. Of this num*
her, 4,229 have been returned after
security was posted.
Convictions on no driver’s license
charges brought suspension of 5,187
license plates through September

these were reinstated when proof
