• State v. Cole, (Ohio 2009)

Trial court did not err in overruling motion to suppress evidence. Trial court correctly determined that evidence that an individual possessed illegal drugs while driving a motor vehicle, and that this individual resided in a particular apartment, without more, is not sufficient to establish probable cause to believe that evidence of criminal activity may be found within the apartment. But trial court also correctly concluded that the closeness of this issue, and its novelty in Ohio, resulted in the searching police officers having relied in good faith upon a search warrant issued by a neutral magistrate, who had been advised of those facts.

• Study: Inattentive Driving to Blame in Most Motor Vehicle Crashes

We see people on the roadways talking on the phone, checking their stocks, checking scores, fussing with their MP3 players, reading e-mails, all while driving 40, 50, 60, 70 miles per hour and sometimes even faster," said Jacqueline Glassman, acting administrator of the government's highway safety agency. John Simpson of Christiansburg, Va., said his "personal favorite" is once seeing a woman in traffic "with her knees up on the steering wheel, sheet music in her lap and she was playing the flute. "I'm notorious for the cell phone and coffee. But if you're up on the road at 6 o'clock in the morning, coffee is probably the best thing in the world," he said.

• Letters to the Editor Dent-and-Runners Cause Others Pain

Last Friday night someone hit my Honda in the parking lot behind Zia Diner and just drove away. For shame! Now I have to rent a car plus get my Honda repaired, costing me $500, my insurance deductible, for something that was not my fault. How a person handles the responsibility of driving a motor vehicle speaks volumes. When you hit someone, leave a note with your name and phone number. It's your fault; it's your responsibility. Man up! How we treat each other as individuals also speaks volumes.

• Month, Aaa Foundation Study Finds

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nearly all drivers (96 percent) feel drowsy driving is an unacceptable behavior, yet almost a third (32 percent) admitted driving when they were so tired that they had difficulty keeping their eyes open in the past month, according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety's 2011 safety culture survey. A study released last year by the AAA Foundation found that one of every six deadly crashes and one in eight crashes causing serious injury involved a drowsy driver. This is substantially higher than previous estimates, confirming the suspicions of researchers that the impact of drowsy driving on motor vehicle crashes, injuries, and deaths has been greatly underestimated.

• Maryland Court of Appeals: Mva Can Use Expunged Records

An expungement of the public record of drunken-driving convictions after 10 years does not prevent the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration from retaining a "confidential" record of those convictions for licensing purposes, Maryland's top court said Monday. The Court of Appeals' decision upheld the MVA's denial, without a hearing, of Thomas P. Headen's application to renew his driver's license in 2006.

• Drinking and Driving

AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Football game days are among the heaviest days for alcohol consumption, according to a 2007 study by the University of Texas. In a state where football reigns, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is tackling this issue with their "Know When to Pass" campaign, which aims to increase awareness of the dangers of game day drinking and encourage fans to pass their keys to a sober driver when they plan to drink. Game day , whether to celebrate a professional or college football game, is a very serious problem in Texas and across the nation. A New England Journal of Medicine study found that in Texas, 45 percent of those who drink at a football watching party report driving home. Also in Texas, alcohol is accounting for...
