Summary

Under existing law, upon demand of a peace officer or traffic collision investigator, under specified circumstances, every person who drives upon a highway a motor vehicle that is required to be registered in California is required to provide evidence of financial responsibility, as defined. A violation of these provisions is a crime. Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to prepare and publish a printed summary describing the penalties for noncompliance with these provisions, which is required to be included with each motor vehicle registration, registration renewal, and transfer of registration, and with each driver's license and license renewal. Existing law establishes that specified convictions and violations under the Vehicle Code and traffic-related incidents count as points against a driver's record for purposes of suspension or revocation of the privilege to drive and that certain other violations do not result in a violation point. This bill would require failure to provide proof of financial responsibility upon the request of a peace officer, as described above, to result in one violation point.
