new year = new law

Here is a link to the automobile club website listing some of the new laws going into effect either today or in the near future that will affect you on the road.

Here is the link to the DMV (Less readable but right from the horses mouth)

"Smog Check

Under AB 1870, beginning January 1, 2008, vehicles that emit visible smoke from the tailpipe or crankcase during a smog inspection will fail the test. A vehicle owner can appeal a failing result to a state-designated referee; low-income vehicle owners may be eligible for repair assistance. "

I wonder how lenient this will be, cars usually have left over fuel that has to be expelled after the throttle is shut, thus causing a bit of smoke. ..

Reckless Driving and Street Racing

AB 2190 makes reckless driving and street racing that results in great bodily injury a felony offense for first-time violators. Previously, only those with a prior conviction for this offense could be charged with a felony. Great bodily injury includes loss of consciousness, concussions, bone fractures, wounds requiring extensive suturing, serious disfigurement, and paralysis.
