Give More Youths
Driver Training
And Cut Road Toll
Alarmed by the accident records of
some of the state's young drivers, a
group of major clubs and organiza
tions is attempting to get at the root
of this problem: The untrained youth
ful driver.
The Eeorgla State Patrol reports
that drivers under 25 were involved in
275 percent of all traffic accidents
in the state last year.
The new state group, calling itself
“Georgians for Driver Education.” is
aiming its campaign directly at and
for the benefit of boys and girls as
they approach, or attain legal driving
age (16), The goal is to get more driv
er training courses taught in the
state’'s schools.
“We must teach our young people
the fundamentals of good drving—as
well as respect for the lives and
rights of other motorists—before they
are licensed to Adrive,” Col. H. Lowell
Conner, director of the Georgia De
partment of Puble Safety, said in urg
ing supvort of the “Georgians for
Driver Education” program.
Dr. Claude Purcell, state school su
perintendent, said: “This can be ac
complished effectively in our high
schools, Other states have gotton ex
cellent results through driver courses
partially supported by state funds, and
we can do the same in Georgia.
Dr. Purcell said that 16 percent of
Georgia’'s high schools offer driver
education courses, and only seven per
cent of the eligible students are en
rolled in these courses. “Georgia ranks
48th among the 50 states and District
of Columbia in both categories.” he
said.”
“The young driver situation could
easily become much worse because
the number of Georgians reaching 16
will increase by 22 percent n the next
two years alone,” Dr. Purcell said,
pointing out that the current crop of
16-year-olds exceeds 60,000,
