New South Dakota law allows year-round studded tires
3/3/08

Several bills with highway safety as their theme have been offered for consideration this year in South Dakota. One bill authorizing certain studded tires on vehicles year-round is now law while measures related to teen driving and seat belt use have died.
Gov. Mike Rounds signed the bill into law allowing retractable studded tires on trucks and other vehicles year-round. State law now limits the use of studded tires from October through April. They must be removed for the rest of the year.

The new law, previously HB1170, won widespread support in the Legislature. It allows truckers and other drivers to keep the special tires on all year. Rep. Tim Rave, R-Baltic, said the change makes sense because retractable studded tires are now available.
The new rule takes effect July 1.

Two other bills focused on improving safety on roads werent as fortunate. The first bill sought to permit parents to become driver-education teachers for their children. The only requirement would have been that the parents be good drivers.
