Bill Summary
Concerns motor vehicles overtaking certain pedestrians and persons operating bicycles and personal conveyances.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to further address the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of personal conveyances (such as low-speed electric bicycles, scooters, and wheelchairs) when being overtaken by motor vehicles. The key provisions include requiring drivers to change lanes if possible, maintain a minimum 4-foot distance when passing, or reduce speed to 25 mph or less if it's unsafe to change lanes or provide the 4-foot clearance. Violators face fines and penalty points, with increased penalties for violations resulting in bodily injury.
