Re: Committee Report
Dear Mr. Dice:
At the request of the Traffic Commission you appointed Mr. Bill Drake,
Mr. Jerry Lindsey, and the undersigned to serve as a committee to inquire
into the increase in the number of accidents and injuries involving two-
wheel motor vehicles in Wichita Falls and to determine if the City of
Wichita Falls could require safety equipment. The committee met twice
and held a public hearing on November 18, 1966.
The committee has completed its study and would make the following
recommendations:
1. The committee recommends to the Traffic Commission and City Council
that a letter or resolution offering the City's official support of
Governor Connally' s proposed safety program be sent to our Represen-
tatives and to the State Legislature.
2. It is recommended that the City Council pass an ordinance requiring
all two-wheel motor vehicles and any operator or passenger on such
vehicles to have the following safety equipment:
a. Any operator or passenger on a two-wheel motor vehicle shall
wear a protective helmet which shall meet the specifications
listed in the Z-90 standards issued by the American Standards
Association.
b. All two-wheel motor vehicles shall be equipped with a windshield
unless the operator wears goggles or a face shield of sufficient
quality and size to protect the operator from foreign objects.
This recommendation does not include eyeglasses.
c . All two-wheel motor vehicles shall be required to have fenders,
two brakes -- front and back, a speedometer, and a solid light
burning at all times.
Chairman M. H. Dice -2- February 13, 1967
d. All operators of two-wheel motor vehicles shall abide by posted
speed limits.
e. The number of passengers shall be limited to one only if passenger
equipment is provided, such as a permanent seat, rider' s pegs, and
a protective helmet. If the above equipment is not provided, a
passenger may not ride the vehicle.
3. The committee recommends that advantage be taken of all opportunities
to educate the public regarding the safe operation of a two-wheel
motor vehicle and to be observant of all two-wheel motor vehicles
on the streets or highways to help reduce the high accident and
injury rates.
All detailed information concerning reports received, minutes of the
meetings and public hearing, and supporting documents are on file in
the City Department of Public Safety.
It has been a pleasure to assist this Commission by conducting interviews
and hearings held by this committee and we hope that our recommendations
will be of some assistance to the Commission. We request that this report
be accepted as the report of the Committee and acted on by the Traffic
Commission as they may see fit. Thanking you, we a
Bill Drake
