Lawmakers weigh changes to booster seat rules in North Carolina
Some kids in North Carolina may soon be required to go back into a booster seat during car trips.
A bill making its way through the North Carolina House would add a new requirement to booster seats: height.
Currently, the state's car seat law goes by a child's age and weight. Kids under 8 years old or weighing 80 pounds or less must be in a booster seat.
The new bill, House Bill 368, would change that restriction to any kids under 8 who are less than 57 inches in height. It will also require all infants to be in rear-facing car seats.
A vote in the House is expected Tuesday.

Elon Musk Does A 180 As He Admits 'Regret' Over His Explosive Posts About Donald Trump
Elon Musk has publicly acknowledged that some of his recent social media posts concerning President Donald Trump "went too far." Musk and Trump's relationship seemingly soured after the tech mogul slammed the president's "One Big Beautiful Bill" as a "disgusting abomination," and went further to hurl several allegations against him. Since the feud became public, Donald Trump has maintained a calm demeanor, while telling reporters that he wishes Elon Musk "very well." Musk took to his X social media on Wednesday to admit that he regrets some of the posts he wrote about President Trump. "I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week," the Tesla boss wrote. "They went too far." The former buddies have been at loggerheads over what seemed to be differences in their approach to government spending after Trump launched the One Big Beautiful Bill. Musk, who was previously head of the Department of Government Efficiency, a department saddled with the responsibility of making government more efficient by cutting spending and downsizing the federal workforce, slammed the bill as a "disgusting abomination." "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," he wrote, adding that the bill "will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America [sic] citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt." Although Musk didn't mention the specific post he regrets making about Trump, some of his recent posts have been quite unsettling, including one where he dropped the "bomb" by alleging that the billionaire politician was on convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's list, and that was "the real reason they have not been made public." In another explosive tweet, Musk claimed that Trump couldn't have won the 2024 elections without him, a tweet that seemingly irritated the president. "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House, and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," Musk said. He added: "Such ingratitude." He even suggested at one point that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance. The SpaceX boss previously shared how some of Trump's officials undermined his role at DOGE and never took seriously his efforts to reduce government spending. Meanwhile, a lawyer for Epstein, David Schoen, has since distanced Trump from Musk's allegations, saying the disgraced financier never had any dirt on the president. According to TMZ, Schoen said Epstein admitted that he didn't have anything on Trump and that if he had dirt on the president, he would have used it. "What I can say definitively is that I discussed this subject with Mr. Epstein at a time when it would have been in his best interests to implicate others, and he made clear that Donald Trump did nothing wrong and that he had no damaging information against him," the lawyer said. Epstein, who notably had ties with celebrities, politicians, and royalty, was arrested on multiple disturbing charges and was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges before he died by suicide in 2019. Following Musk's accusation, photos of him and Trump partying together surfaced on the internet; however, Schoen maintained that the president had done nothing wrong. Taking to his X account, the lawyer wrote: "I was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein's defense as his criminal lawyer 9 days before he died. He sought my advice for months before that. I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!" In a reply to another tweet restating his claims, Schoen said he can "unequivocally" state that President Trump "never did anything wrong with Jeffrey Epstein." According to the New York Post, Trump said he was "disappointed" in Musk but that they "could" still patch things up; however, that isn't a priority on his to-do list at the moment. Speaking with columnist Miranda Devine on the debut episode of "Pod Force One," Trump said he doesn't "blame" Musk for the breakdown of their alliance, but is "a little disappointed." "Look, I have no hard feelings," Trump said. "I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that's phenomenal. …He just — I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually." "I was disappointed in him, but, you know, it is what it is," Trump admitted after Devine said that Musk seemed to treat the president "a bit like a father." "That happens. Things like that happen. I don't blame him for anything. I was a little disappointed," he added.

State says NH roads getting deadlier by the day
Deadly driving crashes continue to rise across New Hampshire with 2025 already outpacing last year, when 135 roadway deaths marked a 6% increase overall and young driver deaths spiked at an alarming rate, transportation officials said. As of Monday morning, 45 people had died in crashes across the state since Jan. 1, according to Mark Munroe, highway safety program manager for the New Hampshire Department of Transportation. Yearly traffic deaths have been trending up since 104 people died in crashes in 2020. In 2024, deaths among drivers age 16 to 21 more than doubled, with 10 fatalities. Most recently, a teen was killed in a motor vehicle incident in Bedford Sunday night. Details of that incident have not been released. So far this year, four drivers under 21 have died, compared with three over the same time period last year. There's been an even bigger spike in deaths among drivers over 70 — 11 deaths, nearly double for that age range, Munroe said. To address the number of roadway deaths, last year the state relaunched a program called Driving Toward Zero, which aims to reduce traffic fatalities by 50% by 2030. This past February, 75 first responders, safety, transportation, health and municipal officials held a Traffic Fatality Summit aimed at curbing the trend. Munroe could not be reached for further comment Tuesday afternoon, but said in late February he had never seen anything like the deadly trends across the state in his 40 years working in public safety. Both Munroe and State Police Lt. Chris Storm have repeatedly voiced concern and frustration with the deadly trends they're seeing. New laws considered This year, legislators have considered three bills addressing recent dangerous driving trends. None have passed so far. HB 466 would have made it so anyone who refuses to take a blood-alcohol test loses their license for a year. Representatives killed that bill and a similar state Senate bill. HB 482 would have raised the fine for driving over 100 mph to $750 on the first offense with a 90-day license suspension. The state Senate tabled the bill last month. However, the House and Senate are working on similar legislation. HB 776 would add wrong-way driving to the list of factors that elevate driving while intoxicated or impaired to aggravated DWI, which has stiffer penalties. State Police said there were 271 wrong-way drivers reported in 2024. The bill passed both the House and Senate and is awaiting a conference committee after it was amended by the Senate. More statistics Of the 45 people killed this year, 26 were drivers, eight were not wearing a seat belt, six were pedestrians and eight were on motorcycles. The number of pedestrians killed is double what it was at this time last year. dpierce@
