CITES NEED OF LAWS Oti BRAKES Increased and widespread interest in automobile brakes has been aroused recently as a result of an investigation of the brake laws of the country by the legislative committee of the American Automobile association. The primary purpose of the investigation, it is stated, was to reveal to the American car owner and all those vitally interest in traffic safety the dangerous variation in brake regulations and the utter need for uniformity. But, the committee reports. it has been discovered that there are no brake laws worth unifying. Reaulta Startlin.. When the digest of state laws regarding automobile brakes was submitted to Thomas P. Henry, president of the A. A. A., he declared that in view of the supposed interest in safety the facts with regard to brake regulations are nothing short of startling. "I feel confident ," Mr. Henry said, "that the legislative committee has unearthed one of the basic reasons f;;,r th~> abnormal number o( traffic idell ~ and 1 · ~~ ~ ...1 I that the news of this investiwill cause motorists and aueverywhere to make every to put brake regulations on a plane where they will be worthy of general adoption." According to the report of the com· mittee, practically all of the States use the stereotyped formula that brakes shall be "good and sufficient" or "adequate," terms which the committe belie,·es are subject to too wide an interpretation where such interpretation must of necessity be made by policemen and brake inspectors. Comenting on the findings of the A. A. A. investigators, Mr. Henry said: Only State with Real Law "Connecticut is the only state which has a definite requirement as to brake performance. The law in this state specifically .provides that every motor vehicle, except motorcycles, shall be equipped with. at last two sets of brakes operated independent of each other and of sufficient power to lock the ;wheels while the al car is iQ motion, yet this regulation is now admitted to be generally inadequate and is not being enforced. "It makes no provision for braking systems which are more effective than those which merely lock the wheels and cause sliding or skidding, as for example, some of the four.wheel brake layouts. Locking of wheels has been generally regarded by engineers as a da,!lgerous feature. "The Massachusetts law l)rovides that automobiles shall be equipped with two sets of brakes, each one of which shall be sufficient alone to stop the vehicle within the proper distance but the law fails to specify what the proper distance is and thus it becomes a matter of personal interpretation by the police or the courts. Several State· Lack Lawa . "Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Louisiana, Colorado, Texas and Wyoming have no laws relating specifically to brakes. "In none of the laws is the ability of the driver considered. It is assumed that if brakes are 'adequate' safety will follow as a natural consequence, whereas good brakes are no assurance that they will be used Drivers operate their brakes with He died Sunday night at St. Luke's hospital.
