AUTO CCIDENTS
ARE NOT DUE TO
.POOR EYE SIGHT
Automobile aceidents in Connecticut'
do not occur as a result of poor eye
sight. according to an investigation
which the Department of Motor Vehi-
cles is making.
For some time the. accident division
of the Motor Vehicle department has
been examining the eye sight of each
person who comes into the State.
Capitol to make out an accident re-
port. The results of these tests have
Just been made public and show in a
surprising way that not only the
average driver, but. even the driver
who is below the av: rage and gets into
frequent accidents. is in the majority
of cases. firm from any physical dis-
ability.
The report which has just come
from the Commissioner's office, states
that only 2 1-2 per cent of the drivers
reporting . accidents have any eye
trouble at all. and no person has yet
been examined who might really be
said to have vision poor enough to
make driving dangerous. Seventy-one
and one half per cent have excellent
vision. 18 per cent average sight, 8
pes- cent fair sight, and 2 1-2 per cent
haev vision which is below normal.
A unique test is also being given to
determine whether or not the drivers
are able to discern colored signals at
a distance. So far not a single per-
son has been found who has not been
able to call off the colors correctly at
the given distance.
These figures have made it clear to
the‘department officials that any acci-
dents which happen at grade cross:
tags. or elsewhere where signals are
ignored. are due entirely to careless-
ness and not to any physical defects
in the drivers. The general accident
is considered to be much more a. mat-
ter of carelessness than actual in-
competency on the part of registered
operators to drive automobiles.
