More cell phone accidents than we thought
2013-05-31
A change may be coming to Louisiana's laws concerning cell phone use by drivers. State law already bans texting while driving, but the capabilities of smart phones allow other uses of these devices that could be distracting to drivers. A loophole in current law exists, say lawmakers.

2013-05-31

California Highway Patrol issues new safety guidelines for motorcyclists
2013-05-31
California is well-known for its congested traffic conditions. In an attempt to speed their commutes, many Californians choose to ride motorcycles, hoping that a more maneuverable vehicle will be able to cut through traffic jams. California is the only state in the country to allow the practice of "lane splitting," whereby a motorcyclist rides between stopped or slowed lanes of vehicle traffic.
Lane splitting is not specifically authorized by state law. However, there is not a law prohibiting it, either. Accordingly, the California Highway Patrol and other ...

2013-05-31

Interestingly, a New Jersey bill was introduced earlier this month that would alleviate many of these concerns. If passed, the bill would eliminate sex offender registration under New ...
