SAFETY IS THE The Bellevue Drivers' Council, under the capa- ble leadership of president Don Horst, and secre- tary Marganne Matheson, decides the fate of stu- dent traffic violators. With the cooperation of the Bellevue Police Department and the Iuvenile Court in Seattle, the Council has devised penal- ties for unsafe drivers. Mr. Knoell serves as adviser, guiding the for- mation of Council judgments, Without actually making any decisions. The eleven-member group holds court every two Weeks. This year the activities of the court have re- flected the feeling of the Council that in a city the size of Bellevue there is no room for careles- sness on the part of teen-age drivers. The con- ditions of the streets and roads, and the abund- ance of small children in the Bellevue area, make safe driving an absolute necessity. Conse- quently, decisions of the court have been very strict. 22 IR BUSINESS In connection with the work of the Council, the Safe-Teens program initiated at Bellevue last year, is carried on throughout the year. Bellevue Senior High School was the first school in Wash- ington to incorporate this advantageous program into the schedule of Work of the Drivers' Council. To become a Safe-Teens member, a driver must meet two requirements. He must have a drivers' license in good standing and a certified safety check of the car he drives. After meeting these requirements, the driver receives a mem- bership card and the official red-and-black Safe- Teen bumper strip. At the annual King County high school safety conference, five Bellevue Council members were present. The purpose of the conference is to con- solidate the thinking of leading teen-agers on the subject of traffic safety.
