LMUD Presents: This Day in Susanville History – July 6, 1962

Double Trouble Speeder
July 6, 1962

When two warning devices fail at the same time, a man is in trouble.

Morris D. Rouble of Los Angeles, cited for driving 70 miles an hour in a 60-mile zone, told Judge Ben Yeakey that is what happened to him.

His car is equipped with a special mechanical warning buzzer that was supposed to sound when the vehicle reached 65 miles an hour. He later discovered several youngsters had reset the buzzer to sound at around 110 miles.

But Rouble conceded this mechanical failure was “no excuse”.

“As a safeguard, I should have relied on my wife,” he said. “But how could I be expected to realize they both would be silent at the same time?”

Bail was set at $7.
