2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 60 - Motor Vehicles|60-6,273 - Occupant protection system; three-point safety belt system; violation; evidence; when admissible.

60-6,273.  Occupant protection system; three-point safety belt system; violation; evidence; when admissible.Evidence that a person was not wearing an occupant protection system or a three-point safety belt system at the time he or she was injured shall not be admissible in regard to the issue of liability or proximate cause but may be admissible as evidence concerning mitigation of damages, except that it shall not reduce recovery for damages by more than five percent.Source   Laws 1985, LB 496, § 7;   Laws 1992, LB 958, § 7;   R.S.Supp.,1992, § 39-6,103.08;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 369;  Laws 2015, LB231, § 38.  Annotations  A court should apply this section before applying a statutory cap on damages. Werner v. County of Platte, 284 Neb. 899, 824 N.W.2d 38 (2012). Under this section, evidence that a person was not wearing a seatbelt is admissible only as evidence concerning the mitigation of damages and cannot be used with respect to the issue of liability or proximate cause. Fickle v. State, 273 Neb. 990, 735 N.W.2d 754 (2007). Evidence of seatbelt misuse or nonuse was not admissible under this section where the plaintiff had dropped her claim that the seatbelt was faulty and stipulated before trial to a 5-percent reduction in the judgment. The trial court's reduction of the jury's award by 5 percent represented the full mitigation of damages available. Shipler v. General Motors Corp., 271 Neb. 194, 710 N.W.2d 807 (2006). Evidence of plaintiff's failure to wear a seatbelt may be introduced for mitigation of damages if defendant has demonstrated a causal connection between plaintiff's failure to wear an available seatbelt and the damages sustained by plaintiff. Jury instruction on plaintiff's failure to wear a seatbelt is proper to reduce damages by 5 percent or less, but only when defendant has demonstrated a causal connection between plaintiff's failure to wear an available seatbelt and the damages sustained by plaintiff. Vredeveld v. Clark, 244 Neb. 46, 504 N.W.2d 292 (1993).
NE Code § 60-6,274 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 60 - Motor Vehicles|60-6,274 - Terms, defined.

60-6,274.  Terms, defined.For purposes of sections 60-6,274 to 60-6,277:(1) Radar transmission device shall mean any mechanism designed to interfere with the reception of radio microwaves in the electromagnetic spectrum, which microwaves, commonly referred to as radar, are employed by law enforcement officials to measure the speed of motor vehicles;(2) Possession shall mean to have a radar transmission device in a motor vehicle if such device is not (a) disconnected from all power sources and (b) in the rear trunk, which shall include the spare tire compartment, or any other compartment which is not accessible to the driver or any other person in the vehicle while such vehicle is in operation. If no such compartment exists in a vehicle, then such device must be disconnected from all power sources and be placed in a position not readily accessible to the driver or any other person in the vehicle; and(3) Transceiver shall mean an apparatus contained in a single housing, functioning alternately as a radio transmitter and receiver.Source   Laws 1982, LB 32, § 2;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-6,206;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 370.

NE Code § 60-6,278 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 60 - Motor Vehicles|60-6,278 - Legislative findings.

60-6,278.  Legislative findings.The Legislature hereby finds and declares that head injuries that occur to motorcyclists and moped operators which could be prevented or lessened by the wearing of helmets are a societal problem and that the financial and emotional costs of such injuries cannot be viewed solely on a personal level. It is the intent of the Legislature to prevent injuries and fatalities which occur due to motorcycle and moped accidents and to prevent the subsequent damage to society which results due to the cost of caring for injured people, the pain and suffering which accompanies such injuries and fatalities, and the loss of productive members of society from such injuries.Source   Laws 1988, LB 428, § 1;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-6,210;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 374.
NE Code § 60-6,279 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 60 - Motor Vehicles|60-6,279 - Protective helmets; required; when.

60-6,279.  Protective helmets; required; when.(1) A person shall not operate or be a passenger in an autocycle described in subsection (2) of this section, on a motorcycle other than an autocycle, or on a moped on any highway in this state unless such person is wearing a protective helmet of the type and design manufactured for use by operators of such vehicles and unless such helmet is secured properly on his or her head with a chin strap while the vehicle is in motion. All such protective helmets shall be designed to reduce injuries to the user resulting from head impacts and shall be designed to protect the user by remaining on the user's head, deflecting blows, resisting penetration, and spreading the force of impact. Each such helmet shall consist of lining, padding, and chin strap and shall meet or exceed the standards established in the United States Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218, 49 C.F.R. 571.218, for motorcycle helmets.(2) This section applies to an autocycle that has a seating area that is not completely enclosed.Source   Laws 1988, LB 428, § 2;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-6,211;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 375;  Laws 2018, LB909, § 105.  Annotations The list required by section 39-6,212 (transferred to section 60-6,280) acts as a limiting construction of this section by enumerating some of those helmets which meet the criteria of this section; when taken together, the helmet law and list are not vague. Claims that this section violates constitutional rights to due process and equal protection are without merit, since the helmet law implicates neither a fundamental right nor a suspect classification and is rationally related to a legitimate legislative aim. Although the State may promulgate and enforce motorcycle helmet standards only if the state standards are identical to those promulgated by the federal Department of Transportation, the helmet law is constitutional, since the visor requirement is properly severable from the remainder of this section. Robotham v. State, 241 Neb. 379, 488 N.W.2d 533 (1992).
NE Code § 60-6,280 (2021)
2021 Nebraska Revised Statutes|Chapter 60 - Motor Vehicles|60-6,280 - Approved protective helmets.

60-6,280.  Approved protective helmets.The Department of Motor Vehicles shall publish a list of approved protective helmets which meet the requirements of section 60-6,279. Such list shall not be inclusive. Any person wearing a protective helmet which meets the requirements established pursuant to such section shall be deemed to be in compliance with such section.Source   Laws 1988, LB 428, § 3;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-6,212;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 376.  Annotations Since the list required by this section is noninclusive, it does not improperly delegate to the Department of Motor Vehicles the authority to define the essential elements of a crime. Robotham v. State, 241 Neb. 379, 488 N.W.2d 533 (1992).

Towing; drawbars or other connections; length; red flag required, when.The drawbar or other connection between any two vehicles, one of which is towing or drawing the other on a highway, shall not exceed fifteen feet in length from one vehicle to the other, except a vehicle being towed with a connection device that is an integral component of the vehicle and is designed to attach to a lead unit with construction in such a manner as to allow articulation at the attachment point on the chassis of the towed vehicle but not to allow lateral or side-to-side movement. Such connecting device shall meet the safety standards for towbar failure or disconnection in the parts, subparts, and sections of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations adopted pursuant to section 75-363 and shall have displayed at approximately the halfway point between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle on the connecting mechanism a red flag or other signal or cloth not less than twelve inches both in length and width that shall be at least five feet and not more than ten feet from the level of the paving and shall be displayed along the outside line on both sides of the towing and towed vehicles. Whenever such connection consists of a chain, rope, or cable, there shall be displayed upon such connection a red flag or other signal or cloth not less than twelve inches both in length and width.Source   Laws 1931, c. 110, § 37, p. 317;   C.S.Supp.,1941, § 39-1168;   R.S.1943, § 39-772;   Laws 1980, LB 785, § 1;   R.S.1943, (1988), § 39-6,132;   Laws 1993, LB 370, § 380;  Laws 2006, LB 1007, § 11.

60-6,285.  Horn; requirements; prohibited acts.Every motor vehicle when operated upon a highway shall be equipped with a horn in good working order capable of emitting sound audible under normal conditions from a distance of not less than two hundred feet. Except as otherwise provided in this section, it shall be unlawful for any vehicle to be equipped with or for any person to use upon a vehicle any siren, exhaust, compression, or spark plug whistle or for any person at any time to use a horn, otherwise than as a reasonable warning, or to make any unnecessary or unreasonably loud or harsh sound by means of a horn or other warning device.

Annotations  Where evidence is not sufficient to support finding there was a duty to sound a horn, court could not properly submit that issue. Merritt v. Reed, 186 Neb. 561, 185 N.W.2d 261 (1971). The duty to sound a signal, warning of the approach of a motor vehicle, depends largely on the circumstances of the particular case. Tews v. Bamrick and Carroll, 148 Neb. 59, 26 N.W.2d 499 (1947). Before backing a motor vehicle, operator must give signal of intention. Chew v. Coffin, 144 Neb. 170, 12 N.W.2d 839 (1944). Failure of trial court to supplement its instructions to include provisions of this section was not erroneous. Bern v. Evans, 349 F.2d 282 (8th Cir. 1965).
