Columbia, Jan. 8. — Governor
James F. Byrnes’ Highway Safe
ty Committee expressed the opin
ion today that the State Highway
Department’s point system for
traffic violations has been the
“key factor” in reducing accident
ceaths.
In its final report to Byrnes,
who leaves office Jan. 18, the
committee declared continuance
of the point system, now under
court attack, is “vital”
Hope was expressed that
should the State Supreme Court
rule the system invalid the Gen
eral Assembly will enact prompt
legislation “needed to cure any
defects that may exist in the
present law.”
It was recommended that Gov.
Byrnes urge the General Assem
bly “not only to make certain for
the point plan to be continued
but that it be kept strong.”
Under the point system, vary
ing numbers of points are charg
ed against a driver for traffic law
violations. When his total points
reach 10, his driving license mav
be suspended.
The system has been held un
constitutional by Circuit Judge
J. Robert Martin of Greenville on
(he ground that giving the High
way Department authority to
suspend licenses for cause is too
broad a delegation of legislative
power. His decesion is before the
State Supreme Court for review.
Meanwhile, the point system re
mains in effect.
Other recommendations and
suggestions of the committee:
Dramatization by the Highway
Department of spot inspections
of the mechanical condition of
vehicles by setting aside special
times for emphasis on the pro
gram.
Driving education courses in
every accredited high school.
“Very strict law enforcement to
make sure speed is kept to a reas
onable and safe rate.”
■' A check of all road crossings to
see that they are marked so ap
proaching motorists will be
aware of them and prepared for
any eventuality.”
More emphasis in safety cam
paigns on traffic dangers to pe
destrians.
Prompt forwarding of records
of driver license revocations, con
victions and such to the Highway
Department.
The committee called attention
to South Carolina's showing in
leading the nation in traffic fa
tality reduction last year. This
was called “most gratifying” but?
the committee addtd, “it should
only be a challenge to us to ac
celerate our efforts to stop the
slaughter on our highways and
streets.”
Claiming part credit for the
point system, the committee said
that almost immediately after it
went into effect the death toll on
state roads began to decline.
“We have examined carefully
the detail* of the plan in use in
this state and feel that the pro
visions are fair and just,” the
committee told Byrne*.
‘We agree that there should be
an opportunity for one who has
been penalized to “work off’ the
points by good behavior. We
know that the highway commis
sioner (C. R. McMillan) feels
likewise about this and the de
partment expect* to formulate
rules and regulations to this
end."
Extensive publicity should be
given to the fact that a motorist
may at any time be stopped by a
patrolman for a check of his car's
condition, the^committee said.
Pointing out that since the
General Assembly repealed the
compulsory inspection law the
Highway Department has been
operating under a spot check
system of determining a car’s me
chanical condition, the committee
recalled that in its previous Dec.
18, 1953 report it recommended
increased spot inspections.
’We are pleased to note that
this has been done” and “we sug
gest that every effort be made co
inspect even more cars during
the coming year,” the committee
said. “We realize that periodic
compulsory inspections of all cars
to discover mechanical defects
would be the most desirable
method” but “it would take leg
islative action, however, to put
into effect again the act which
the Legislaure saw fit to annul. ’
