Case Notes

  Statute applied to defendant, where defendant argued that
traffic statutes involved only applied to businesses and state vehicles;
statute did not violate defendant’s freedom of movement.  77 H. 222 (App.), 883
P.2d 644.

  It is within the power of the legislature to motivate
compliance with safety inspection and liability insurance laws by imposing the
penalty specified in this section; because the offense of "expired safety
sticker" is a civil traffic infraction and not a criminal offense, the
district court improperly found motorist "guilty".  107 H. 508
(App.), 115 P.3d 687.
