EMERALD ROAD GREENWOOD, S. C. 223-8357 THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., January 9, 1969—5-A Mini-Bike Laws Are Explained START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT! SAVE On One Of Our Dependable Used Cars. Mini-bike riders are happily putt-putting in many areas of South Carolina following Christ mas, and this has occasioned a word of advice from the State Highway Department. There are certain laws and regulations which must be obeyed if miniature motor scooters are ridden on public streets or high ways. As long as they are operat ed on private property the laws and regulations do not apply. Briefly, for mini-bikers using public thoroughfares, here are the rules of the game: 1. The operator must be at least 15 years old and have a state beginner’s permit or driver’s license. 2. All “Rules of the Road” applying to other motor vehicles must be obeyed. 3. Minibikes must display a South Carolina license plate on the rear. 4. A helmet (approved make and model) must be worn by the rider. 5. Eye goggles or windshield must be used. 6. Adequate brakes, headlight, Three Deacons Are Installed At ARP Church The three deacons were elect ed at a congregational meeting in December. Ernest Hitt is serving his first full term having filled the unexpired term of the late Gus Blakely. Dewey Oxner, Thornton Ste wart and Ernest Hitt were or dained and installed as deacons at Providence A.R.P. Church this past Sunday morning by Rev. 7eb Williams and memt»ers of the session. At the congregational nipe^ng', JarTies P. Sloan was elected as chairman of the congregation for 1969 and Mrs. K. N. Carter was elected congregational secre tary. tail light, stop light and horn must be installed. 7. Suitable muffler must be affixed to reduce noise. 8. A liability insurance policy or payment of uninsured fee must be made. Highway Department spokes men have noted that mini-bikers are being operated on city streets and sidewalks without the re quired equipment. Youngsters possessing these small two- wheelers are cautioned to use them on private property only, unless they can meet the require ments of state law. They are wise to avoid riding in traffic, a hazar dous and risky business. Because of their small size and relative ly slow speed they can be over looked by motorists and become involved in an accident. Stay out of streets and high ways and ride your mini-bike safely, the Highway Department suggests. * * * "How much insurance did he have?" ‘Too had about Brown,” we say.
