Too Many
Have Bad Brakes
Says PoKce Heaiff
Unsafe brakes have been Xoand In
over 18 per cent of the cars cheeked
said A. J. Rush. Chief of Polke In
reporting on the brake-check program
belag conducted by Sooth C!aroUna
law- enforcement officers.
During the first four weeks of the
nationwide brake cheok program over
10,000 cars have been inspected by
police officers in South Carolina and
1,904 were found with dangerous
brakes.
In addition, many motorists whose
brakes barely met the check require
ments were ’ urged to have their
brakes tested at re@|lr shops and ad
justed or repaired If necessary.
'•Results so fkr are gratifying.''
Chief Rush said. “Motorists have been
very cooperative and the police be
lieve that by the time the pro^m
is completed Juno 1, the cars in our
State will be considerably more a^e
on the average than they were at tne
start of the program.
“Police officers report that most
motorists contacted are genuinely in
terested in making their cars last
People are beginning to realize that
their cars mast not only last for the
duration of the war but for long per
iods after tht war.’’
Reports on the nation-wide results
of this brake check program cover
ing 41 states reveal that 16 per cent
of the cars inspected could not meet
the brakexbeck requirement. South
(Carolina's percentage of unsafe brakes
was slightly higher reaching 18 per
cent
“For this program to be completely
successful, motorists should volun
tarily have their cars inspected at re
pair shops, not only their brakes but
other parts that have to do with
safety,’’ reminded Chief Rush.
