New Safety Responsibility Law
Seeks To Curb Traffic Accidents
superintendent of Alaska State
Police A.P. Brant announced Mon
day the inauguration of a month
long program of Public Education
about Alaska’s new Safety Respon
sibility Law.
The new law, similar to such A
programs of 46 other states, be
comes effective September 1.
‘ It may seem unusual for the
State to conduct such a campaign
prior to the effective date of such
a Law, but its provisions are far
reaching and every driver and car
owner must be aware of its re
quirements because after Septem
her there - will be no excuse
acceptable,” the Superintendent
said.
He pointed out that such Public
Education campaigns have been
conducted in 46 other states which
have such laws and they have pro
vided a chance for every motorist
to learn his new responsibilities
under the Law.
This law has two primary pur
poses, one is to require every
motor vehicle owner and operator
who is involved in an accident re
sulting in death or injury, or
property damage exceeding $200,

FALSE
TRUE. Lottery matter of any kind is non-mailable. Any letter, package,
postal card, or circular, concerning any lottery, gift enterprise, or
similar scheme offering prizes dependent in whole or in part on lot
or chanoe is unmailable. For this reason newspapers which advertise
Beano or Bingo games or other, lottery schemes cannot be sent
through the mails. Because they know sealed first-class letters in the
United States’ mails cannot be opened for postal inspection, some
unscrupulous operators use this means of attempting to peddle sweep
stakes tickets, punchboards, or other lottery matter. When such items
are received through the mails, they should be reported at once to
your local postmaster.

to furnish within 45 days, proof of
their ability to pay for the damage
they cause or surrender their
driver’s license until they can
demonstrate such ability, not only
for the first accident but for the
future as well. The other purpose
is to greatly facilitate the State’s
ability to remove chronic accident
causers from behind the wheel.
“I cannot emphasize too much
that this law applies not only to
residents of Alaska, but to non
residents as well. If the driving
privilege of a non-resident, such
as a member of the Armed Serv
ices, is suspended in Alaska, such
suspension will be effective also
in his home state because of re
ciprocal agreements between
states.”
