Extractions: August 23, 2001 New Traffic Laws Take Effect Driving-related legislation taking effect September 1, 2001: HB 5 makes it a Class C misdemeanor to have open containers of alcohol in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The new law also increases penalties for repeat DWI offenders. If a second DWI conviction takes place within five years, there is an automatic one-year driver license suspension-and the driver must have an ignition interlock installed on their vehicle for the year following the suspension. During the suspension, the offender is not eligible for an occupational license. HB 63 increases the driver license suspension period for a person who refuses to take the breath test or fails the breath testand requires the arresting officer to confiscate their driver license on the spot. The suspension periods and enhanced punishments for repeat offenders were also increased. For example, for a first offense, the suspension period for refusing a breath test will double from three months to six months. HB 63 also applies the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) laws to boating while intoxicated if the suspect refuses a breath test.

Extractions: Traffic crashes are a leading cause of death in the United States. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Territories have child passenger safety laws ("car seat laws"). However, many of these laws have significant gaps and exemptions in coverage that diminish the protection that all children need in motor vehicles. Cover all occupants up to age 16 in all seating positions. All child restraint laws should cover children up to age sixteen; the adult belt law should apply to all other occupants. Although most child restraint laws cover babies and young children up to four years of age or 40 pounds most laws do not protect children up to16 years of age. For example, in many states, a 10-year-old can legally ride in the back seat without being secured because the laws in those states apply only to front seat occupants. Also, the belt use laws in most states permit only secondary enforcement. Require child occupants to be properly restrained. The law should explicitly require a child to be in an age and size appropriate restraint system. Currently, many states allow a child to be restrained in a safety belt when, in fact, some form of a child safety seat or booster seat is the correct safety device for the child's size and weight.

A national speed limit of 55 mph was imposed in 1974, and in 1987 it was modified to allow 65-mile-per-hour speeds on some rural freeways. The federal law was entirely repealed in 1995, giving states the right to set their own limits. Montana, which had been the only state with no speed limit, imposed a 75-mile-an-hour limit in 1999.
