DMV Reminds You of New Laws for Vehicles in 2016
December 22nd 2015 Jeff Knox
The new year is almost here, and with it are some new driving laws.
Starting January 1, [2016] ...
Here is full list of laws the DMV is reminding you go into effect January 1,
2016: ...
Electrically-Motorized Skateboards (AB 604, Olsen): This law defines
“electrically-motorized board,” and restricts their operation on public
facilities, requires boards to be equipped with safety equipment, and
authorizes cities and counties to regulate their use. It also makes it a
crime to operate an electrically-motorized board while under the influence
of drugs or alcohol. In addition, the law limits the board’s operation to
individuals 16 years or older, requires operators to wear a bicycle helmet,
wear safety equipment to increase visibility at night, and limits their
operation to roads with a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less. A
conviction for violating this law is punishable by a fine of up $250.
Electric Bicycles (AB 1096, Chiu): This law adds an entirely new
definition of an electric bicycle to the California Vehicle Code. An
electric bicycle is defined as a bicycle with fully operable pedals and an
electric motor of less than 750 watts. The law creates three classes of
electric bicycles. Manufacturers will also need to certify the electric
bicycles comply with specified requirements. Electric bicycle riders will be
able to use roads similar to other bicycle riders, while providing a measure
of local control if safety concerns arise on specific paths or public trails
