Mechanical Defects
In Motor Vehicles
;   Cause Of Accidents
HAIXOWEEN PARTIES
One car out of every six contains
sqm'e defective part that could contribute to a death and one out of three
motpr vehicles would fail to pass inspection in any state that has compuV
sqry ..inspection laws, a'ccordingi to
Lee. Johnson,, chairman of Isabella-
Clare • Counties committee, planning,
the big_ community-wide .observance
of "Know. Your-, Automobile Dealer
Week,^ October 31 tp November 5.'
• "This sounds like a rather sad commentary., on , traffic conditions in this
country but the only possible error in
these facts is that'they may be under;
statements/' he said. "For example,
when Washington State went in for
state inspection stations two . years
ago, it was..found that 71 percent of
inspected- vehicles had mechanical
faults. In, the District of Columbia,
six. out of, ten cars in 1947 failed to
pass inspection. In North Carolina,
the rejections were 59 percent. Moreover, a police traffic check of 3,000,000
vehicles- in 1946 revealed 1,000,000
were unsafe.
"The possibility that one car out of
eyery six could be a death car is based
on reports of state traffic authorities
that faulty vehicles were a-contributing factor in 16 percent or one-sixth
of all fatal accidents in this country
in 1947. There were over 52,000 traffic deaths that year so defective parts
were responsible' in part for 5,000
deaths as well as 200,000 accidents.
"I am confident that if all car owners of Isabella and Clare Counties realized these facts, each one would
make certain that his car has no defective parts, particularly brakes,
lights,    tires,    steering    mechanism,
