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

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.

The always wacko state of California had to make a (temporary) law
so as to NOT charge tolls for pedestrians on bridges!

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

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.

I'd vote for that one. Similar law passed for drivers. It's dangerous for anyone in traffic to have both ears blocked.

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.

My guess would be some hoverboard marketing person brought this to his legislator to write the bill. Free advertising.

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.

Per Mark Bannon:

I wonder how that plays out in those 55 mph zones where "normal speed
of traffic" is more like 60-65.

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
