does californias proposition 115 apply to traffic infractions?

Proposition 115 is an exception to the hearsay rule as it applies to preliminary hearings. Testimony about traffic infactions can be part of a preliminary hearing, so your answer is yes. \n\nIf you are asking if they apply at traffic court, I would have to say no.

They DHSMV in Florida has the this info so I would guess the California DMV would have this info also. Check with them.\nNOTE: I have never had a DUI. I got this info from the Florida Driver License Handbook years ago.

You can call the County Attorney's office in your county and speak with someone about the guidelines. Also you could plead not guilty in court and hire a private attorney to investigate into the matter of the legality of the roadblock. Could be pricey but it'll get you out of the ticket if you could prove that it was illegal.

Just so there's no misunderstanding about California's DUI law, you cannot be arrested or convicted of DUI on a bicycle or "any device with wheels".\n\nTo be guilty of DUI in California, a person must be driving a vehicle, and a vehicle is defined as a device by which any person or property may be propelled, moved, or drawn upon a highway, excepting a device moved exclusively by human power or used exclusively upon stationary rails or tracks.\n\nBlood alcohol levels as reported are otherwise correct.  And as others have indicated, the DUI laws here have two parts; one that says you can't drive with a BAC in excess of the law, and the other that says you can't drive with *any* BAC if you drive like your head is up your... glovebox, I guess.

In California, what is required is only proof of passing a state-run motorcycle safety course. There is no roadtest.\n\nTX info: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/msb/txmclaws.htm#Chapter%203

no! In California, riding electric scooters on the road is legal. Due to similarities in weight and speed, treating electric scooters like bikes makes sense. Unfortunately, the enabling legislation (SB 441) adds extra limitations (minimum age of 16, wear a helmet, etc.). For the actual code sections, see http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/vc/tocd11c1a5.htm

They usually stop vehicles at certain intervals (every 5th/10th, etc.). \n\nThen they'll check license/registration, possibly insurance, and if they smell alcohol on you, or suspect you of being impaired (even by prescription meds) such as by seeing if your pupils are dilated, they will give you a sobriety test.\n\nOf course, every state and jurisdiction will be different, but my source link below will connect you with California's information. What state are you asking about?

Could be both. Depends on your local laws. The city council here in my town voted to make it against city code as a moving violation and left the old noise ordinance on record. The moving violation is only if you are driving and have to be pulled over, not if sitting in your car in the drive way.

In CA, the pedestrian must wait until it is reasonably safe to cross. He cannot just jump out into traffic when he reaches the crosswalk. Nor do the cars have to stop for him. However, once it is clear and he begins in the crosswalk, oncoming traffic now must yield to him. \n\nCA vehicle code 21950:\n\n21950(a) The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to\na pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or\nwithin any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, except as otherwise\nprovided in this chapter.\n   \n21950(b) This section does not relieve a pedestrian from the duty of\nusing due care for his or her safety.  No pedestrian may suddenly\nleave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path\nof a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.\nNo pedestrian may unnecessarily stop or delay traffic while in a\nmarked or unmarked crosswalk.

Here is your answer taken from the W VA traffic code \n\n§17C-14-2. Limitations on backing; penalty.\n(a) The driver of a vehicle shall not back the same unless such movement can be made with reasonable safety and without interfering with other traffic.\n(b) Any person violating the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars; upon a second conviction within one year thereafter, shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars; and upon a third or subsequent conviction, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars.

They can run your plate and certain information can come up. It is possible to "tag" a plate. The question is, is this "tag" probable cause for a traffic stop. A "tag" in and of itself does not constitute grounds for a traffic stop unless that vehicle is wanted in connection with something. However, most vehicles are always committing some act that would allow for a traffic stop. Yes it is true, ANYTHIGN hanging from your rear view mirror is illegal. At least it is in California. There are so may other vehicle codes that most people are always breaking that it is never difficult to justify stopping any car!!

The states are all linked by computer now.  The DMV in any state will see you are suspended.

Not yet. There is a case near San Diego that will be heard by the courts.

No it isn't.They will stop you for it though because as mentioned it affects your vision outside the car.\nI was stopped by a hiway patrol because he said I traveled to far in the inside lane on the hiway and that my wife had the interior light on for reading which was illegal.\nI beat both tickets in court because neither one was considered illegal by the Dept.of Rev.

Depends....\n\nAre you actually guilty?  Search online for Hawaii's Vehicle Code for the code section you're accused of violating.  Chances are, if you're not guilty of *everything* in the exact section you were cited for, you can get "off".\n\nIn California, you *can* agree to a "Trial by Written Declaration".  Both you and the officer write the story and mail it to the court.  (You get a copy of what the officer writes, and s/he gets yours.)  The judge then makes a decision.  In California, if you lose your "Trial by Written Declaration" you can request a new trial in court (called a trial de novo).  I don't know if Hawaii has similar rules.\n\nIf you're interested in actually fighting your speeding ticket, Nolo Press (www.nolo.com) has books that you can purchase to present your case to the judge.  (I did; and actually won against a speeding ticket.)\n\nOn the other hand, if traffic school is an option, you might take it.  Fighting your ticket is a long and sometimes confusing process.  I did it because I had absolutely nothing to lose and nothin' but time....

You have asked several questions into one. First of all, if your talking a texas only drivers license, then what the cities and counties do is attach any traffic violations to your license. So when the Law Enforcement officer runs your license any texas issued traffic citation will come up, regardless of texas jurisdiction. As for out of state traffic tickets, some states may do the same and attach a violation to the license. Most states belong to the Recipication Agreement, meaning that if your license is susspended in your home state or any other state that you had a license, then your license that you hold now is null and void. As for deferred adjudication, it wouldn't be reported until after you have completed the agreement of the court. Then it probably wouldn't be reported at all, since you complied with the courts requirement.

Per the website fo the California Department of Motor Vehicles:\n\n"Do not block or hinder a funeral procession. Vehicles taking part in a funeral procession have the right of way and if you interfere, obstruct, or interrupt the funeral procession, you are subject to a citation. (VC §2817) The funeral procession is led by a traffic officer and all vehicles taking part in the procession have windshield markers to identify them."\n\nThe laws of your state may be different.
