AB 208, Bigelow. Vehicles: highway: lane use.

Existing law (2015) requires, on a 2-lane highway where passing is
unsafe due to specified reasons, *a slow-moving vehicle* behind
which 5 or more vehicles are formed in a line to turn off the roadway
at the nearest place designed as a turnout or wherever sufficient
area of a safe turnout exists in order to permit the vehicles
following it to proceed.

This bill (2016) requires, on a 2-lane highway where passing is
unsafe due to specified reasons, *any vehicle* proceeding upon
the highway at a speed less than the *normal speed of traffic*
moving in the same direction at that time, behind which 5 or more
vehicles are formed in line, to turn off the roadway at the
nearest place designated as a turnout or wherever sufficient area
for a safe turnout exists.

"slow moving" vs "any vehicle at less than normal speed"

This relates to anyone pulled over where the cellphone is confiscated.

This year, the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act goes
into effect. CalECPA requires police to get a warrant before searching
your electronic devices. It will be up to a judge to decide if police
have probable cause to access your devices, location information and
search history.

Hoverboard legislation starts January 1st, 2016.

AB 604 defines a hoverboard as an "electrically motorized board"
which means riders must be 16 or older and wear a helmet while riding.

The law also restricts use to specially designated bikeways or highways,
which means hoverboards are no longer legal in public places.

California law enforcement is expanding the already much
abused Amber Alert program (DON'T FLUSH TOILETS WHILE DRIVING!)
with a few new typically Californian wacko variations in 2016
(just like the already wacko five legally binding colors for curbs)

The first idiotic new alert is a 'Yellow Alert' which will go
out on highway message boards with hit-and-run suspect vehicle
descriptions.
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...=201320140AB47

The second idiotic new alert is a "Silver Alert', which will
go out on highway message boards when a person 65 or older
is missing.
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...201520160AB643

Upcoming for next year ... White Alerts - warning when children
don't brush their teeth or boys don't wash behind their ears!

Another new crime!

It's already illegal for car drivers, but if you're on a bicycle,
it's now illegal to use a headset, earplugs or earbuds in both
ears while operating your bicycle.

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...201520160SB491
It's in there - buried deep down within the wholly unrelated crap.

(11) Existing law prohibits a person operating a motor vehicle or a
bicycle from wearing a headset covering both ears, or from wearing earplugs
in both ears, subject to certain exceptions.

This bill would also prohibit wearing earphones covering, resting on,
or inserted in, both ears. Because a violation of these provisions would
be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

AB 40 keeps toll bridges free for pedestrians and bicyclists
but only until 2021, so hurry up!

Just to prove that the state is filled with wackos, starting
January 1st, 2016, California DMV offices will begin issuing
driver's licenses to people in the country *illegally*.

Under AB 60, applicants must prove who they are, that they
live in California and, surprisingly for California, they
must also pass a driving test.

A new law will also provide access to auto insurance.

DMV officials say they expect about 1.4 million *illegal*
cheaters to apply for a driver's license in the first three
years.

That sounds great but it still doesn't stop them from looking. It only
means they can't use the information in court.
They still can use the information to "get lucky" in a traffic stop or
know where to look to find legal probable cause from a place where you
don't have the expectation of privacy.

I wonder how that plays out in those 55 mph zones where "normal speed

There are two types of hoverboards.

The two-wheeled variety are typically used by lazy kids.

When the lazy kids grow up, they graduate to the 18-wheelers you see at walmart hauling around obese shoppers.

That's basically the point of giving them licenses. They are already
driving, so this allows the state to figure out who they are and keep
some degree of control over the process rather than just throwing their
hands up over the matter.

What else are you going do to? Put them in jail? Believe me, living
in an American jail probably beats living in Tegucigalpa these days.

For example, I was just at Disney World and noticed that fat people

Okay, okay, Segway to you sir! Anyway users of the device commonly
referred to as a hoverboard tend to seque from standing to lying on the

about a smooth transition. Ain't nothing smooth about it.

Creates a catch 22. Going the speed limit is less than the normal speed
of traffic. Going the normal speed of traffic is speeding. Perfect when
combined with the war on some drugs and civil asset forfeiture.

Yes. This is just the liberals making their life easier by giving
ILLEGALS a LEGAL ID. Try this in Mexico and see how far you get as an

It's in there - buried deep down within the wholly unrelated crap.

(11) Existing law prohibits a person operating a motor vehicle or a
bicycle from wearing a headset covering both ears, or from wearing earplugs
in both ears, subject to certain exceptions.

This bill would also prohibit wearing earphones covering, resting on,
or inserted in, both ears. Because a violation of these provisions would
be a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.


So does this make the use of hearing aids illegal while driving or
bicycling or are they an exemption.

It's all typical stupid big brother gvt assholery.


The government may be stupid, but some cyclists are even stupider.
Riding a bike with loud music in your earbuds is dangerous, but people
do it. Just as dumb, I see people in the dark walking along the roadside
and other riding bikes in the dark with no reflectors or lights.

The last time I had "access to auto insurance" it was $300 cash or
certified check, in person at their offices, for a 30 day policy.
Wonder what these guys will pay, if anything..

I don't think issuing Cali drivers license to illegals will attract
many illegals. That would mean they would have to get legal and buy
insurance or have their ride confiscated and them jailed for no
insurance. You can't jail the buggers because of being in country

Being an illegal alien in Mexico is a felony. Mexico puts illegals in prison when they are caught sneaking in from South America on their way to The U..S. I wish The U.S. would adopt the immigration laws of Mexico.¯\_à²*_à²*_/¯

a problem.


I keep hearing that the net Mexico-USA migration is towards Mexico now.


It certainly was, starting a little after the recession started.

Now that the recession is pretty much over, I would think things
could reverse again, although of course they have to make it into the
country again. No small feat.

If that's correct, are the numbers over-ridden by immigration from
Central America ?


I don't know but I don't think the Central American numbers are as
great as the Mexican.

I've heard that when NAFTA was passed, the North American Free Trade
Act, it cost some/quite a few Americans their manufacturing jobs as
Mexicans did it cheaper, but the corn farms in the midwest with their
enormously efficient farm machinery could raise corn a lot cheaper,
and this stopped 10's of thousands of Mexicans from making a living on
the small farms they owned or worked, and that that's why there was
such a burst of Mexicans entering the US after NAFTA.

Googling, these, written in 2014 and 2012, says that very thing:

Most of them. It's so that when I see one with lights, especially a
flashing red light, I'm really impressed.

And the deer too don't do much to keep me from hitting them.

I"m glad to hear that. Because your description of their law, if it
was ever true, is not true for the last 5 1/2 years.

"The new law guarantees that foreigners and Mexican nationals will
receive equal treatment under Mexican law and decriminalizes
undocumented immigration, reducing it to an administrative infraction,
punishable with a fine of up to 100 days' worth of minimum wage.[1]
Under this equality principle all immigrants, regardless of status,
nationality, or ethnicity, are granted the right to education and
healthcare and are entitled to due process. Elements aimed at
promoting family unity were also added. Moreover, before the
government takes action (e.g. deportation) with respect to migrant
children and other vulnerable individuals (women, seniors, the
handicapped and victims of crime), their specific needs must be
prioritized and adequate services must be provided....."

AB 208, Bigelow. Vehicles: highway: lane use.

Existing law (2015) requires, on a 2-lane highway where passing is

at the nearest place designed as a turnout or wherever sufficient

This bill (2016) requires, on a 2-lane highway where passing is
unsafe due to specified reasons, *any vehicle* proceeding upon
the highway at a speed less than the *normal speed of traffic*
moving in the same direction at that time, behind which 5 or more

"slow moving" vs "any vehicle at less than normal speed"
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...201520160AB208


Creates a catch 22. Going the speed limit is less than the normal speed
of traffic. Going the normal speed of traffic is speeding. Perfect when
combined with the war on some drugs and civil asset forfeiture.


[Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris.
"We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not
a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we
mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any
government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well,
when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares
so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men
to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding
citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind
of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively
interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then
you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's
the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to
deal with.”]
