REPEATED ARRESTS MAY CAUSE LOSS OF LICENSE Captain Charles Loomis of the California Highway Patrol has received orders from Ray Ingels, director of Motor Vehicles in the state, to comb department files and discover motorists who are "habitual traffic violators." "Stop" cards are being set up to revoke licenses of all persons determined to be habitual offenders against the vehicle code, says Loomis. In addition, the will tag those autoists whose records indicate they are prospective habitual violators and such prospects will be served with sealed warnings stating that further offense will result in revocation of license, according to Ingels. "Powers invested by the new vehicle code make it possible to take more drastic action against persons who continually speed, drive recklessly, or break parking laws," said Ingels, "and I intend to go the limit in removing these types of motorists from out highways."
