Williams Warns
Of Safety Needs
DETROIT (AP)-Gov. G. Mennen Williams says "we've got to make the bad driver unfashionable and scorned by his friends."
"He's a potential killer," Williams said, "and we've got to change him. More police enforcement and even higher and higher numbers of license suspensions will never really win this battle for us.
"We've got to catch people in their minds and in their driving habits before they ever get to the point that the police have to flag them down."
The Governor made his remarks at a convention of Michigan wine and beer wholesalers.
