Summary

Existing law prohibits any person, except as specified, from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied in or upon the vehicle that obstructs or reduces the driver's clear view through the windshield or side windows. A violation of these provisions is a crime. This bill would exempt from the prohibition against placing an object that obstructs or reduces the driver's clear view, as specified above, objects or materials placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied in or upon a vehicle owned by a government agency if those objects or materials do not interfere with the driver's clear view of approaching traffic.
