SCHD suspends inspectors Suspension for 60 days of the right to operate an official motor vehicle inspection sta tion was the fate of one busi ness establishment in South Carolina recently, the State Highway Department has an nounced. This station was found guilty of conducting a vehicle inspec tion which went further than the prescribed procedures out lined in the official inspectors’ manual according to the chief of the inspection program. This is the first instance of a license suspension the Depart ment has had to apply. Complaint from a motorist who felt that proper procedures were being exceeded in the inspection was made to the inspector, who investigated the allegations which later proved true. All such complaints are checked by the Highway De partment to make sure inspec tions are made according to the prescribed procedure. The vehicle owner was re funded his inspection fee when the irregularity was brought t( light and investigated. There are over 1000 official inspection stations in business in South Carolina. All must follow the same inspection methods. Trained officials visit licensed stations periodically tc check on their operations. Any variation from recommended methods is brought to the op erator’s attention and correct ive measures taken. Vehicle inspection is volun tary this year but becomes mandatory’ for all on January 1, 1969.

One car wrecks The one-car traffic accident figured prominently in the high accident and fatality rates for South Carolina during the per iod from May 11-22. Nine of 13 fatal accidents during the period were single- car accidents. Two of the ve hicles left the road and struck utility poles. One struck a tree, and another struck a sign. The other five went out of control and crashed in var ious manners.. Records i tprpoxaeandicmi Records indicate approxim ately 50 percent of all fatal accidents involve only one ve hicle. Accidents of this type are largely “preventable,” as they usually result from speeding, reckless driving, drinking, and carelessness. Mechanical defects are some times to blame also. The fatal accident rate con tinues to run high, with the toll at mid-week 47 ahead of the 1967 figures for the same period. “As a motorist you can re duce the chances of becoming involved in this most ‘needless’ type accident by obeying the traffic laws concerning speed, reckless driving, and driving after drinking.
