need stricter speeding policj ,
State’s rank of first in auto fatalities prompts dem
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas was
ranked first in the country in the
number of fatal motor vehicle
deaths in 1998, prompting an in
surance group yesterday to call on
law enforcement officials to adopt
a zero-tolerance policy for speeders.
Tom Vinger, Texas Department
of Public Safety (DPS) spokesper
son, said that while stopping
speeders is a priority, zero-toler
ance is impossible.
‘‘What is zero-tolerance? Is it 71?
Are we going to pull over everyone
who’s going 71? I don’t think that
would go over well,” Vinger said.
“You can’t argue with reality. The
reality is, however, you can’t make
everyone stop speeding,” Vinger said.
In 1998, 3,576 people were
killed in 3,160 motor vehicle acci
dents in Texas, according to the
U.S. Department of Tiansportation.
California ranked second with
3,112 fatal crashes, followed by
Florida with 2,548.
It is up to Texas’ 13.4 million li
censed drivers to slow down and
drive more safely, Vinger said.
Sandra E. Ray of Southwestern
Insurance Information Service, the
industry trade group that made the
zero-tolerance suggestion, said
lowering the fatality rate is the re
sponsibility of drivers and law en
forcement. Lower injury accident
and fatality rates could result in
lower insurance rates, she said.
"/ think we need to
stop people who are
going 1 mph over
the speed limit/'
— Sandra E. Ray
Southwestern Insurance
“I think we need to increase the
amount of troopers who are tracking
speeders,” Ray said. “It doesn’t nec
essarily just have to be increasing
the number of police officers but just
start cracking down more. 1 think we
need to stop people who are going 1
mph over the speed limit.”
“1 don’t think law enforcement
turns a blind eye to speeders. The
only way to truly improve the fa
tality rate in Texas long term is the
people,” Vinger said, who noted
the DPS issued 506,067spi
citations last year. Loqal
forcement agencies als
speeding tickets.
The insurance group is
dally concerned about speec
rural highways.
According to the DPS,2$
fic deaths and 43,934
dents occurred on rural to,
1998, accounting for 58
the statewide death toll.
"The speed limit on mail
lane Texas roads is now 70:
Jerry Johns, president ofSomfl
ern Insurance Informations
said. “It is a judgment call tv ;
these roads are designed font
of speed limit, and it appears:
70 mph speed limitonatu:
rural road is a bad judgment:
Vinger said that more act:
— 96,156 of which 688 wets
— occurred in Texas wheni
were going under the speec
but driving too fast for cone
such as bad weather, traffics
gerous roads.
Both Vinger and Ray sail
hope the latest statisticswilj
attention of Texas drivers
cause them to use common
and put the brakes on.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The filmmakers who
spurred renewed interest in the 1993 Waco siege un
veiled their findings yesterday in a new documentary
that suggests federal agents used an explosive charge
to blast into the steel-reinforced concrete bunker where
Branch Davidian women and children hid and died.
Among the other startling allegations contained in
Waco: A New Revelation is that cult members were
pinned down by automatic gunfire as flames con
sumed their retreat on April 19, 1993, cutting off their
only route to safety.
The film, produced by Colorado-based MGA Enter
tainment, was previewed yesterday for reporters and
others before it heads for direct-to-video sales and lim
ited theatrical release.
The latest outcry over Waco began earlier this
year after the documentary’s main researcher,
Michael McNulty, discovered a potentially incendi
ary tear gas canister amid the thousands of pounds
of evidence held in storage lockers. That discovery
forced FBI and Justice Department officials to recant
their longstanding claims that only non-incendiary
tear gas was used.
The government insists its agents played no role in
the fire or Davidians’ deaths. Cult leader David Kore-
sh and some 80 followers perished during the blaze,
some from the flames, others from gunshot wounds.
The FBI insisted Wednesday, as it has for six years,
that its agents fired no shots during the 51-day siege
that stemmed from a botched raid by the Bureau of Al
cohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
“We are aware of no incidents where gunfire emanat
ed from any law enforcement source,” bureau spokesman
Bill Carter said. “Our position has not changed.”
Carter said he was unfamiliar with the allegation
that an explosive device was detonated on the roof of
the concrete bunker. He also declined comment about
the documentary.
