Ryan and Wendrow said it was impossible to determine by reading the bill whether the present powers of the secretary of state to revoke drivers' licenses would be wiped out by the bill or whether the point system is merely an addition. The point system would require the revocation of drivers' licenses when a motorist had accumulated 12 points against him.

"The point system itself as stated in the bill is inequitable and does not conform to the seriousness of offenses listed," Judge Ryan said. Ryan pointed to violations of manslaughter and negligent homicide which count six points for each conviction. "The law calls for a penalty for up to 15 years for manslaughter and only two years for negligent homicide, but the point system would count six points against him for either," Ryan said. "It is also obvious that a man would have to kill two people before he could lose his license," he said. Wendrow said the bill also leaves no discretion to the judge in the number of points counted against a man although one violation might be more serious than another, yet both would come under the same charge.
