劉龍珠律師法律評論:2017年開始,開車不能拿手機了

2016926日,加州州長布朗正式簽署通過了眾議院1785號法案,全面禁止開車時玩手機等分心駕駛行為。該法案即將在201711日生效,開車的人要注意了,今後任何開車時用手碰手機的行為都算違規。

現行的加州交規只是禁止司機在開車時使用無線電子設備來讀、寫、寄送簡訊,除非該無線電子設備可以使用聲音等智能方式(即無需用手操作)來操作,並且司機在開車時並未使用手來操作該無線電子設備。

而加州新交規進一步拓展了違規範圍,禁止司機在開車時手持並操作無線電子設備,除非該無線電子設備可以使用聲音等智能方式(即無需用手操作)來操作,並且司機在開車時並未使用手來操作該無線電子設備。

這裡的無線電子設備包括但不限於手機、收音機、電腦、呼機等。但是車內自帶的或者內嵌的電子設備除外。

只有當以下兩個條件同時滿足時,才可以在開車的時候用手操作無線電子設備:

1、 該無線電子設備採取了車載GPS的安裝方式,安裝在車輛擋風玻璃上;或者安裝在車輛儀錶板或者中央控制台上,並且不會阻擋司機的視線;

2、 司機用手操作無線電子設備的動作僅限於用手指滑動一次電子設備的屏幕或者按動一次電子設備上的某按鈕來啟動或者關閉該無線電子設備。

也就是說,從2017年開始,不僅開車時用手機屬違規,就連開車時拿著手機都是違規。而且,不僅僅是開車時觸碰手機,就連開車時調試車內廣播、看地圖等行為都是禁止的。只有非常有限的情況下才可以用手碰手機。

初次違反新交規需交罰金20美元,第二次及以後再違反此交規需交罰金50美元。

新交規不適用於緊急情況下,在急救車輛中使用無線電子設備。

法案原文:

 

Assembly Bill No. 1785

CHAPTER 660


An act to repeal and add Section 23123.5 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles.


[ Approved by Governor  September 26, 2016. Filed with Secretary of State  September 26, 2016. ]


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

 

AB 1785, Quirk. Vehicles: use of wireless electronic devices.

Existing law prohibits a person from driving a motor vehicle while using an electronic wireless communications device to write, send, or read a text-based communication, as defined, unless the electronic wireless communications device is specifically designed and configured, and is used, to allow voice-operated and hands-free operation, as specified. A violation of these provisions is an infraction.

This bill would instead prohibit a person from driving a motor vehicle while holding and operating a handheld wireless telephone or a wireless electronic communication device, as defined. The bill would authorize a driver to operate a handheld wireless telephone or a wireless electronic communications device in a manner requiring the use of the driver』s hand only under specified conditions. By changing the definition of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

 

SECTION 1.

 Section 23123.5 of the Vehicle Code is repealed.

SEC. 2.

 Section 23123.5 is added to the Vehicle Code, to read:

23123.5.

 (a) A person shall not drive a motor vehicle while holding and operating a handheld wireless telephone or an electronic wireless communications device unless the wireless telephone or electronic wireless communications device is specifically designed and configured to allow voice-operated and hands-free operation, and it is used in that manner while driving.

(b) This section shall not apply to manufacturer-installed systems that are embedded in the vehicle.

(c) A handheld wireless telephone or electronic wireless communications device may be operated in a manner requiring the use of the driver』s hand while the driver is operating the vehicle only if both of the following conditions are satisfied:

(1) The handheld wireless telephone or electronic wireless communications device is mounted on a vehicle』s windshield in the same manner a portable Global Positioning System (GPS) is mounted pursuant to paragraph (12) of subdivision (b) of Section 26708 or is mounted on or affixed to a vehicle』s dashboard or center console in a manner that does not hinder the driver』s view of the road.

(2) The driver』s hand is used to activate or deactivate a feature or function of the handheld wireless telephone or wireless communications device with the motion of a single swipe or tap of the driver』s finger.

(d) A violation of this section is an infraction punishable by a base fine of twenty dollars ($20) for a first offense and fifty dollars ($50) for each subsequent offense.

(e) This section does not apply to an emergency services professional using an electronic wireless communications device while operating an authorized emergency vehicle, as defined in Section 165, in the course and scope of his or her duties.

(f) For the purposes of this section, 「electronic wireless communications device」 includes, but is not limited to, a broadband personal communication device, a specialized mobile radio device, a handheld device or laptop computer with mobile data access, a pager, or a two-way messaging device.

SEC. 3.

 No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
