Summary

Existing law regulates vehicles, including rules of the road, licensing requirements, and criminal penalties. Existing law makes it unlawful to drive a motor vehicle or ride a bicycle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as specified, and imposes consequences when a traffic accident occurs as a result. Existing law, the Youthful Drunk Driver Visitation Program Act, authorizes a court to require a defendant or ward to visit various facilities, such as a trauma facility, as specified, a chemical dependency recovery hospital, or a county coroner's office. This bill would delete the provision authorizing a court to require a defendant or ward to visit a chemical dependency recovery hospital. This bill would replace the term "accident" with "crash" in various provisions related to driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
