It's false according to snopes. I'd post a link but cannot.

EDIT: Search snopes for "New California Driving Laws" and it will be the first link.

And I was gonna say it's a repost, but they're both by Hooligan on different forums a minute apart... So.... NVM.

This is all too dramatic misinformation as snopes has shown.

But I do feel sorry for y'all having to reside in the Golden State and putting up will all that you do.

It was better when there were only 10 million residents. . . and everyone spoke English in order to get around.
