Stupid California Traffic Laws For 2013

Categories: WTF

Keep your plates straight. AB 2489 mandates that you not mark up, alter or obfuscate your license plates. Cops need to see those numbers, and so do red-light cameras. The problem here is that this was already the freakin' case. To be fair, the legislation "clarifies the penalty imposed for obscuring the readability of license plates," according to the CHP. Good work, Sacramento.

Congrats Jim. You discounted an entire article because of a single grammatical error. Here is your star for the day *

Are some so lazy that they are unable to keep a simple piece of paper in the glove box, indicating that the auto insurance is up-to-date? I understand one may have to rifle through other debris in the glove box to find this document, but to allow a picture (a picture?) of current insurance coverage on a smart phone is ridiculous and incredible. If somebody doesn't want their phone searched, under AB-1708, then produce the paper coverage version instead. Leave the phone in your pocket or purse.

It's an interesting article, but it loses a bit of credibility since the author cannot distinguish between "fare" and "fair." There's another typo in there as well.

@Jim Dubu Just a typo. Note that I use it correctly once (using the same phrase, "to be fair,") before screwing it up. My bad. Fixed.
