According to the latest count, there are five million passenger cars traveling the roads and highways of Pennsylvania, and one out of every three uses studded tires. The problem is that these tires are expected to cause an estimated $25 million to $30 million in road damage this year alone. In hopes of reaching some compromise in the raging confroversy over studded tires, six House Democrats have joined forces in legislation calling for a seven-month limit on the time in which studded tires can be used on Common- wealth roads. Co-sponsored by State Reps. John F. Laudadio, D- Westmoreland; Joseph Petrarca, D-Westmoreland; A.J. Valicenti, D-Allegheny; A.J. DeMedio, D-Washington; Bernard J. Defbrowski, D- Erie; and David C. DiCarlo, D- Erie, the bill would allow the use of studded snow tires only from October 1 of one year to April 30 of the next. “The question right now is whether the damage- factor involved in studded tires out- weighs the safety value,” sponsors of the bill maintain. “There is no doubt that studded tires bring about undue wear and tear to many roads and highways. Some motorists are even known to leave their studded tires on all year around. But lately, experts in the field of traffic safety have challenged the effectiveness ot studded tires, claiming the studs are only more effective on warm, glare ice, but are no better than regular snow tires on pavements covered with Church will Hold Supper East Dallas United Methodist chicken supper April 7, from 4p.m. until 7 p.m., in the church social rooms.

The proposed bill would not apply to farm equipment or other vehicles which need total to be effective and workable. In addition, any motor vehicle or trailer already designed to prevent such spray because of special body design or con- struction features would be con- sidered to have satisfied the need for a protective flap. DiCarlo has also come up with another concept for improving traffic safety efforts in the Commonwealth. The Erie County Democrat has called on State Transportation Secretary Jacob G. Kassab to consider the possibility of creating a specially designed license plate for automobiles used and driven by the handicapped. “I am aware that in Pennsylvania we already use the letters ‘H-P’ to signify handicapped persons on our license plates, but they do not stand out and most people, including members of the State Police are not aware of the letters’ connotation,’’ DiCarlo maintains. ‘‘This could be disastrous in the event of an auto accident involving a handi- capped person.” As one idea DiCarlo suggests the possibility of taking the same approach that is’ now being considered in the State of Illinois calling for a special license plate with a simple line drawing of a person in a wheel chair on the left side of the plate just before the number. “Obviously, only handi- capped persons with vehicles registered in their name would be eligible for the special plates and only after they have sub- mitted a certified statement from their physician along with their application,’”” DiCarlo says.
