Two new decisions from the Court of Criminal Appeals that directly affect traffic safety have been released.
In State v Tart the CCA ruled that Tart, a habitual traffic offender was not worthy of probation for his 4 1/2 year sentence. See the decision at:

In State v Dansby, the traffic stop was based on the failure of the driver to wear a seat belt. The defense on cross tried to create the possibility that the car did not have a shoulder harness and that the stop was not reasonable. The stop was upheld in:
