New California Driving Law of 2022
New California traffic laws are enacted every year , and drivers need to be aware of these laws. Some changes may be small, but others are more extensive and could potentially negatively impact unwitting drivers. From an enforcement perspective, not knowing about new legislation is by no means an excuse for not following the law. It's critical to stay abreast of new California driving laws that take effect each year.
When will the driving law change take effect?
Most of the 2022 laws listed in this article (with the exception of AB 47) were signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in the last legislative session in 2021 and will go into effect on January 1, 2022. Drivers in any state must comply. This update was provided by state law enforcement agencies such as the California Highway Patrol . Currently, there are three new 2022 California traffic laws to highlight, as well as a California law that will go into effect in the second half of 2021.
AB 974 : New Supplement to California Horse Law
California's new motor vehicle laws aren't the only traffic laws to take effect in 2022. AB 974 is a new bill that requires anyone under the age of 18 to wear a helmet when riding a horse, mule or donkey on paved highways. The new law also mandates that both horses and riders (regardless of age) wear reflective gear when riding after dark. Violators can face fines of up to $25. For AB 974, it's important to note that the bill includes exemptions for those who ride horses during parades or festivals.
AB 3 : Define " Juggling " and Increase Penalties
This is one of the more important new California auto laws for 2022 that drivers should know. A key point of the bill is that it formally provides a definition of "sideshow" for law enforcement to refer to. AB 3 defines juggling as: "An event in which two or more persons obstruct or obstruct traffic on a highway for the purpose of performing for an audience a motor vehicle student, motor vehicle speed content, motor vehicle speed display, or reckless driving."
In addition, the bill increases penalties for engaging in such violations, including the suspension of licenses for up to six months. However, this aspect of the new rule for California drivers won't go into effect until July 1, 2025.
AB 798 : Tribal Emergency Vehicles
This is a unique bill in the 2022 push to change the law because it applies only to federally recognized Native American tribes in California. The bill removes restrictions on ambulances owned and operated by tribal fire departments. Previously, these vehicles were considered privately operated, but under AB 798, vehicles owned or operated by a federally recognized tribe are now considered authorized emergency vehicles.
AB 47 : License Points for Distracted Driving
The law goes into effect in the second half of 2021, and some drivers may not realize it. This particular bill strengthens existing California distracted driving laws , which already make it illegal to drive while using a handheld cell phone. AB 47 came into effect on July 1, 2021, adding penalties for repeat offenders. As a result of the act, if a driver is caught violating the hands-free law for the second time within a 36-month period, a driver's driving record will be scored
2022 年新加州驾驶法
每年都会颁布新的加州交通法，驾驶员需要注意这些法律。一些变化可能很小，但其他变化更广泛，可能对不知情的司机产生潜在的负面影响。从执法的角度来看，不了解新立法绝不是不遵守法律的借口。及时了解每年生效的新加州驾驶法是至关重要的。
驾驶法变更何时生效？
本文中列出的大多数 2022 年法律（AB 47 除外）由州长 Gavin Newsom 在 2021 年最后一次立法会议上签署，并于 2022 年 1 月 1 日生效。任何州的司机都必须遵守。此次更新由加州公路巡逻队等州执法机构提供。目前，有三项新的 2022 年加州交通法需要强调，以及一项于 2021 年下半年生效的加州法律。
AB 974：加州马法的新补充
加利福尼亚州的新机动车法并不是 2022 年唯一生效的交通法。AB 974 是一项新法案，要求 18 岁以下的任何人在铺砌的马路上骑马、骡子或驴子时必须戴头盔高速公路。新法律还规定，马和骑手（不论年龄）在天黑后骑马时都必须佩戴反光装备。违规者可能面临最高 25 美元的罚款。对于 AB 974，重要的是要注意该法案包括在游行或节日期间骑马的人的豁免。
AB 3：定义“杂耍”并增加处罚
这是司机应该知道的 2022 年更重要的加州汽车新法律之一。该法案的一个关键点是，它正式提供了“杂耍”的定义，供执法部门参考。AB 3将杂耍定义为：“两个或两个以上的人在高速公路上阻塞或阻碍交通的事件，目的是为观众表演机动车辆学生、机动车辆速度内容、机动车辆速度展示或鲁莽驾驶。”
此外，该法案还增加了对参与此类违法行为的处罚，包括吊销执照长达 6 个月。然而，这项针对加州司机的新规则的这一方面要到 2025 年 7 月 1 日才会生效。
AB 798：部落紧急车辆
这是 2022 年推动法律变更中的一项独特法案，因为它仅适用于加利福尼亚州联邦认可的美洲原住民部落。该法案取消了对部落消防部门拥有和运营的救护车的限制。以前，这些车辆被视为私人运营，但根据 AB 798，由联邦认可的部落拥有或运营的车辆现在被视为授权的紧急车辆。
AB 47：分心驾驶的执照积分
该法于2021年下半年生效，部分司机可能还没有意识到。这项特殊的法案加强了现有的加州分心驾驶法，该法已经规定在使用手持手机时驾驶是非法的。 AB 47 于 2021 年 7 月 1 日生效，增加了对屡犯者的惩罚。作为该法案的结果，如果司机在 36 个月的时间内第二次被发现违反免提法，司机的驾驶记录将被记分
