The 1952 report of the Joint Legislative Committee provided
a basis for Governor Dewey to renew his efforts for a legislative
program in behalf of the uncompensated accident victim when the
New York State Legislature convened in January 1953. In his
Annual Message, he said:

"I believe the time has come to challenge the right to drive
of that small minority who continue to operate vehicles
without insurance or other evidence of the ability to recompense the victims of their accidents.
This is not a new departure. Under our Safety-Responsibility Law, drivers who
are involved in accidents must maintain proof of insurance
or financial responsibility.

The present law does not begin,to operate, however, until after the damage is done and
victims may be dead or permanently incapacitated ....
"The objections that have been raised to a mandatory insurance
program can easily be overcome through a welldrafted
law and sound administration. There is no necessity
for the creation of a state fund as part of the mandatory
insurance program.

The assigned risk plan has served us
well and can be adapted to meet changing needs. . . .What
is required is the willingness and determination to devise a
system which will eliminate the irresponsible motorist from
,the highways and maintain the integrity of the insurance
companies doing business in this state. I am unwilling to
believe that we lack the resourcefulness or integrity to solve
the administrative problems."




IMO it's always good to see tyrannical politicians exposing themselves in this manner! In fact, freedom to travel in ALL 50 states can't be removed from We The People.
