AI Summary

This bill, titled "Vehicles: sideshow enhancements," makes technical, nonsubstantive changes to existing California law that prohibits engaging in or aiding and abetting motor vehicle speed contests or exhibitions of speed on highways or in offstreet parking facilities. The bill clarifies that a "sideshow" is an event where two or more people block or impede traffic to perform stunts, contests, exhibitions of speed, or reckless driving for spectators, also known as a "street takeover." While the core prohibitions and penalties remain, the bill specifically allows for the suspension of a driver's license for up to six months for violations related to sideshows, with exceptions for medical, personal, or family hardships, and also clarifies that the vehicle used in a sideshow may be impounded.
