NEW 2023 DRIVING LAWS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT

Every year there are new laws that affect drivers like you. Here are three important ones for 2023:

• Protecting Bicycles on the Road - AB 1909 protects bicyclists by requiring vehicles passing them to move over one lane if possible or slow down and only pass when safe to do so.

• Less Jaywalking Violations - AB 2147 prevents police from stopping a pedestrian for jaywalking unless there is an “immediate” danger of a crash.

• Reducing Catalytic Converter Thefts - Two new laws (SB 1087 & AB 1740) make it tougher for thieves to sell catalytic converters to recyclers by applying more rules and keeping more detailed records.
