AUSTIN The Texas legislature has given I Star motorists a set of traffic laws designed to help check the escalating traffic accident rate. Strengthened driver license provisions, more complete vehicle inspection requirements plus statewide expansion of the driver education program and study of the medical of traffic safety are all a part of the newly enacted legislation. Introduced by Representatives David Crews, Conroe. Ralph Wayne, Plainview and Senator H. J.

Blanchard. Lubbock, the bills creating these new laws were a major portion of Gov. John Connally's 1967 highway safety program. Citizen support for these measures was led by Texans For Traffie Safety Earlier legislation passed in this session called for reflect or ized license plates to be issued by the state. The extra safety measure was introduced in HB 441 by Rep.

Milton Schiller of Cameron. The new drivers license law provides for the issuance of licenses at age IB to teenagers who have completed approved driver education courses, or who present a certificate from thei- superintendent of schools showing that driver education is not taught in their school. This exception will apply only until June 1, 1969 and is designed to permit schools to gear up for a vastly expanded driver education program. The minimum age for teens without driver education will he 18, however operators of motorseoot- ers or motorcycles with 5 horsepower or less may be licensed nt age 15. The minimum age for chauffeur and commercial will be 17.

Fur the first time in Texas all motorcycle operators will be required to have a drivers license and all persons will be required to pass a driving test in the type of vehicle for which they will be licensed to operate. This provision includes trucks, tractor-se mis and motorcycles. Penalties for driving while a license is suspended are increased by the new driver license law. Persons convicted of driving while their license is suspended or revoked will faced with a mandatory jail sentence of not less than 72 hours nor more than 6 months, plus fines ranging from $25 to 1500. Rehabilitation driver training schools will be established by the Department of Pu die Safety for drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked.

VEHICLE INSPECTION The present vehicle inspection law has been amended to provide for the inspection of a steering system, seat belts, wheels and rims The inspection iee is raised to $1.75 to cover this addition to the list of items inspected Expansion of the driver education program in high schools was assured with the appropriation of $2 million When this expansion is completed, all Texas teenagers should be able to take driver education prior to graduation from high school and qualify for licensing at age 16 instead of 18. The bill accomplishing this also designated the Governor as the one person responsible for preparing and administering a state-wide traffic safety program designed to reduce traffic accidents. The Governor is also authorized to cooperate with the Federal Government and with all political subdivisions of the state to receive and disburse on behalf of the state, Federal funds to be made available tactical training.
