Nikki Haley Vetoes New Moped Laws in South Carolina

A popular moped bill that passed both the South Carolina State House and Senate chambers died on Governor Nikki Haley’s desk earlier this month. If passed into law, the bill would have levied new regulations against moped drivers.

Under current South Carolina code, traffic laws applying to motor vehicles do not apply to mopeds. That loophole means that a person “can be stinking drunk on a moped and can’t be arrested,” in the words of State Sen. Greg Hembree. Someone can also operate a moped on a highway even though the maximum legal speed of such a vehicle is only 30 mph.

Fifty people died in 2015 from moped accidents in South Carolina, and 16 more have died so far in 2016. Legislators will need to push for more concrete definitions and a bare minimum of control over moped operation if they hope to reduce these fatalities in the future.

Authorities in North Carolina Crack Down on Driving Laws

North Carolina authorities expect their roads to get significantly safer thanks to redoubled efforts for enforcing some of the state’s existing driving laws.

The first law in question prosecutes impaired drivers who have been consuming drugs. North Carolina funds training programs that certify officers to become experts at recognizing impaired drivers who are under the influence of substances other than alcohol. These officers are designated as Drug Recognition Experts or DREs, and there are over 180 of them throughout the state.

The second initiative hopes to educate people about “move over” laws. Any time a police officer or first responder has pulled someone over on the side of the road, other drivers are legally required to slow down and pull into the farthest possible lane.

These two efforts will hopefully see fewer accidents occurring in North Carolina.
