Hitting directly at the accident- causing motorist, Montana's senate Bill No, 103. which becomes a law today, provides the highway patrol with a new set of teeth, sharp and effective against the law-breaking driver. Principal among provisions of the new law is paragraph 6.

which makes it an offense for a driver to allow more than three people in the front seat of a vehicle. This problem has become an increasing one, officers said, and warned motorists that they would launch a campaign against offenders of this type. Formerly given as a safety hint, now a law, the regulation regarding the pedestrian declares that it is an offense to walk on other than the left-hand side of a road. And, drawing fine lines in their attempt to cut down highway casualties, the lawmakers have ruled it an offense to operate an automobile not equipped with a rear-view mirror and a windshield wiper. Heretofore regulations but now made laws, the bill also provides that failure to abide by the following provisions is punishable by-arrest: "Operating a motor vehicle unless such vehicle is equipped with muffler in good working order and in constant working operation to prevent excessive and unusual noise, and it shall be unlawful to use muffler "Observing the signal, whistle or word of a highway patrolman.

A highway patrolman shall have the authority to stop, examine and test any vehicle he sees fit. "Driving an automotive vehicle in a reckless manner is the violation of two or more highway patrol board regulations; patrolmen here gave as an example the arrest for driving over the center line and non-possession of a driver's permit. They said that this, under the new-law, would constitute a reckless driving offense) or any one or more violations of this act which has caused an accident. 'Driving an automotive vehicle in an unsafe mechanical condition This refers specifically to brakes, lights, visibility of glass enclosures and windshields, steering devices and mechanical features enabling the operator to handle his car in a safe manner under all normal conditions. "Operating a motor vehicle with headlight globes with greater than 32 candle-power intensity." Highway patrolmen are also empowered by the act to make arrests in cases involving: Murder, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, grand larceny, kidnaping, illegal transportation of narcotics, Dyer act violations, but "in no event shall such patrolmen be deemed police officers in making arrest in other offenses, and shall, in felony cases, cooperate with sheriff's and peace officers." The patrolmen are expressly forbidden to make arrests in labor disputes, or "preventing violence in connection with strikes, and shall not be permitted to perform any duties whatsoever in connection with labor disputes or boycotts, or shall not, be permitted to congregate or act as a unit in one county to suppress riots or to preserve the peace." The act provides that the patrolmen may, when requested by the proper authorities, assist in handling traffic at sporting events or other civic activities.
