Critical Reasoning

Last January, in an attempt to lower the number of traffic fatalities, the state legislature passed its “Click It or Ticket” law. Under the new law, motorists can be pulled over and ticketed for not wearing their seat belts, even if an additional driving infraction has not been committed. Lawyers and citizens’ groups are already protesting the law, saying it unfairly infringes on the rights of the state’s drivers. Law enforcement groups counter these claims by stating that the new regulations will save countless additional lives.

Which of the following inferences is best supported by the passage above?

A) Prior to the “Click It or Ticket” law, motorists could not be stopped simply for not wearing a seat belt.

B) The “Click It or Ticket” law violates current search and seizure laws.

C) Laws similar to “Click It or Ticket” have effectively reduced traffic fatalities in a number of states.

D) The previous seatbelt laws were ineffective in saving lives.

E) Law enforcement groups, rather than citizens groups, should determine how to best ensure the safety of motorists

I would go a.

"Under the new law, motorists can be pulled over and ticketed for not wearing their seat belts---even if no additional driving infraction has been committed" Inference is that since motorists under this new law can be pulled over for not wearing their seat belts, previously motorists could not be simply pulled over for not wearing their seatbelts.

A IMO

I'm going with A.
