To Why of Earth Pip you leap him on like that Woozie funds needed to put Teeth in bid to make roads Safe by Peter Raeside second of two articles compulsory vehicle inspection can be an expensive venture. But is it Worth the Price in terms of the lives it can save the Manitoba government says it is but not before 1970. Safety and Law enforcement officials believe it is now. And most major vehicle Deal ers in the province believe compulsory inspection would eliminate transactions in unsafe vehicles still continuing through loopholes in the Law. Government officials concede the present dual certificate system of vehicles checks is at Best a Compromise. Utilities minister Stewart e. Mclean minister in charge of the motor vehicle Branch says the government has firmly committed itself to the compulsory vehicle inspection principle through still to be proclaimed legislation passed during the 1966 autumn session of the legislature. But it has not been possible so far to find the necessary capital is million or. Mclean said when the legislation was put on the statute books it envisaged establishment of a government owned and operated inspection station in greater Winnipeg at a capital Cost of at least million. It was planned to make it mandatory for All vehicles registered in the metro area to be tested at the station once a year. At the same time vehicles in the rest of the province would use the testing station on a voluntary basis. The legislation would require All vehicles changing hands to be inspected within 30 Days of the transaction. But said or. Mclean the government has since revised its thinking in favor of compulsory testing of All motor vehicles in the province. The government is studying two methods of inspection Practised in other jurisdictions. They Are government owned and operated inspection stations. Inspection stations opera Ted by existing garage opera tors licensed and paid for by the government. Or. Mclean said the system of Mobile inspection stations used in some other jurisdictions in t being seriously considered. Motor vehicle Branch officials say because of the enormous Cost of the government Ven Ture the privately owned sys maps celebrate birthday today Ottawa up the commons Marks a mile Stone in parliamentary history today the 100th anniversary of the meeting of the first Canadian Parlia ment.

Tern is the most Likely to be established in Manitoba. Unacceptable but an official said Many feel the private system unacceptable because of such possible Mal practices As a garage operator May say a vehicle needs work when it does t. A garage operator May not reject the vehicle of a Good customer even if it has defects. But the vehicle Branch official said these abuses could be combated by a system of government inspection including in running of Dummy cars with known defects through the inspection stations. And by assessing average rejection rates of garages in the province we could Tell if an operator was t doing the in their research into the problem government experts have studied some of the 20 american states which have mandatory vehicle inspections of both the government and privately operated types. They have found in Many state operated systems where the charge for inspection is included in the registration fee higher costs Are forcing authorities to include an additional fee for the service. Most privately operated sys tems appear to be working better financially with fees ranging from to but the Standard of inspection varies greatly. Officials Here Are eyeing most closely the privately operated program introduced feb. 15 this year in Nova Scotia first province to require compulsory inspection of All passenger vehicles. Crack Down the registrar there is very pleased with the Way. It is said a Manitoba motor vehicle Branch spokes Man adding that Nova Scotia has had to crack Down on a few operators by suspending their licenses. Advocates of compulsory vehicle inspection also cite the operation of the City of Van Couver inaugurated in 1938, which is to be used As the Model for a province wide sys tem in the near future. Only other Canadian jurisdiction with government vehicle inspection is Ontario where it works on a voluntary basis with a permanent unit in Toronto and Mobile units for the rest of the province. But it s said a government official Here. The vehicles you want to Are the ones that evade safety agencies i Manitoba Are the Foremost lobbyists for i immediate government action i they claim the backing of groups As divergent As the automotive trades association the Manitoba motor league the Manitoba medical association Canadian underwriters the Manitoba Farmers Union and the Winnipeg and District labor Council. And although the Winnipeg motor dealers association won t say so officially Many of its larger dealer members be Lieve compulsory inspection is the logical conclusion to any car safety program. The greater Winnipeg safety Council has already called on the provincial government to tighten the present dual certificate system to embrace Pri vate deals. And it is currently preparing a statistic packed Brief soon to be handed to or. Mclean calling for prompt government implementation of the compulsory inspection legislation. The Brief now i draft form and being studied by various agencies in the province leans heavily toward the philosophy of . Auto critic Ralph Nader in terming mechanical condition of a vehicle a vital part of traffic safety. Vehicle checks in recommending a compulsory inspection program Model led after those in Nova Scotia and Vancouver the Brief notes the average rejection rates. In states with mandatory vehicle checks is 34 to 55 per cent while in those with voluntary checks the rate runs from 16 to 26 per cent. In voluntary Check lanes in Manitoba last year 60 to 70 per cent of vehicles failed to pass their first test the Brief adds. It cites similarly gloomy rejection figures for voluntary car checks conducted in other provinces and predicts All Are on the verge of implementing compulsory vehicle inspection programs. The Brief quotes from findings of a Harvard University investigation that found mechanical failure responsible in More than half the fatal Road crashes it examined. And closer to Home it says a Survey in greater Winnipeg found garage managers believe eight to 10 per cent of cars on the history Are in condition. In the Survey says the Brief the garage operators cited the reluctance of vehicle owners to have defects corrected when they were pointed out. The motor vehicle Branch while conceding the necessity of compulsory inspection i s n t completely convinced the incidence of mechanical failure i fatal crashes is As High As the Nader Camp maintains. There s no overwhelming evidence that most motor Acci dents Are caused by mechanical said one official. Government officials say an economic slowdown has prompted a revision of spending priorities. And they a delay i implementing the compulsory inspection legislation is a direct result of this. Meanwhile they have time to study results elsewhere. This is the reply to mounting i pressure to take immediate i action. J motor vehicle Branch officials i Are acutely aware of a growing Public safety consciousness. I but until they yield to this i pressure there s still the possibility of that unsafe unchecked car on the same Road As you.
