THE DMV WEBSITE LOOKING FOR

NAME BY CHARGING THEM A FEE
THIS COMPANY IS PROFITING
OFF OF A FREE SERVICE THAT
IS PROVIDED THROUGH ALL OF
CALIFORNIANS IF THIS INEQUITY
IS NOT FIXED THE CURRENT
SYSTEM ALLOWS THOSE WITH THE
MEANS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
OF A SYSTEM THAT IS SUPPOSED
TO SERVE CALIFORNIANS FROM
ALL ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS
THIS AFFECTS THOSE IN OUR
STATE WHO MAY BE ECONOMICALLY

AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE COST

SOMETHING MEMBER DEEP -- AND
MEMBERS THE CALIFORNIA BERMAN
OF MOTOR VEHICLES IS THE
ONE STATE AGENCY THAT EVERY
RESIDENT IN THE CITY CALIFORNIA
IS REQUIRED TO VISIT IN PERSON
THERE ARE OPERATIONS THAT
ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
SYSTEM BY LOCKING DOWN ALL THE
APPOINTMENTS AND SELLING THEM
TO TAXPAYERS AT A PREMIUM WHAT
WE HAVE SEEN SIMILAR BUSINESS
MODELS FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO
PURCHASE THE LATEST I PHONE
FOR HIGH DEMAND OR FOR HIGH
DEMAND TICKETS FOR CONCERTS
A CONSUMER STILL HAVE THE
OPTION TO CHOOSE WHETHER THEY
WANT TO PAY A PREMIUM TO MAKE
THIS PURCHASE THE RESIDENTS
OF CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY DO
NOT HAVE A CHOICE WITH THE DMV
THEY ARE REQUIRED TO VISIT THE
DMV LONG WAIT TIMES INCLUDED
ASSEMBLY BILL THREE SEVENTEEN
ENSURES FAIRNESS FOR TAXPAYERS
SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR
A GOVERNMENT SERVICE ALLOWING
ENTITIES TO TAKE UP THE BULK
OF THE AVAILABLE APPOINTMENTS
LEAVES MANY INDIVIDUALS
WHO NEED TO MAKE AN URGENT
APPOINTMENT IN A VERY DIFFICULT
SITUATION IF THEY HAVE TO PAY
A THIRD PARTY TO GET EMPLOYMENT
THAT IS NOT THREE MONTHS DOWN
THE LINE AB THREE SEVENTEEN
MAKES THIS SIMPLE FIX FOR
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA WHO

SEVENTEEN IS THE CREATION
OF A NEW CRIME A MISDEMEANOR
UNDER THIS CRIME -- WE TAKE NO
POSITION ON WHETHER THE PRIVATE
SALE OF DMV APPOINTMENTS SHOULD
BE ALLOWED UNDER LAW BUT WE
DO BELIEVE IT IS UNNECESSARY
AND UNWISE TO CREATE IMPOSE
CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR THIS
BEHAVIOR OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM IS ALREADY OVER BURDENED
CREATION OF A NEW CRIME WILL
ADD TO THE STRESS ON THE
SYSTEM ADDING NEW CASES TO BE
TRIED IN CRIMINAL COURT AND
POTENTIALLY EVEN ADDITIONAL
INDIVIDUALS SENTENCED TO
JAIL TIME -- ALL THIS IS
UNNECESSARY TO THE TO ACHIEVE
THE GOAL OF STOPPING THIS
PRACTICE IF THE SALE OF DEAL

SHOWED OR WOULD YOU PREFER OKAY
PLEASE STEP THE PODIUM AND
START WHEN YOU'RE READY SIR
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF MY WITNESSES ARE
PRESENT -- THIS BILL CONCERNS
DISTRACTED DRIVING WHICH AS
MOST OF US UNDERSTAND CAN BE AS
DEADLY AS IMPAIRED DRIVING --
FOR WE'VE INTRODUCED THIS BILL
TO IMPROVE SAFETY ON OUR ROADS
THE BILL WILL STRENGTHEN THE
PENALTY FOR DISTRACTED DRIVING
TO INCLUDE A POINT VIOLATION
ON A PERSON'S DRIVING RECORD
RESEARCH SUGGESTS THE DRIVERS
WHO TEXT MESSAGE WHILE DRIVING
ARE EIGHT TIMES AS LIKELY TO
BE IN AN ACCIDENT OR A NEAR
ACCIDENT AS DRIVERS WHO ARE
NOT TEXTING UNFORTUNATELY OUR
EXISTING DISTRACTED DRIVING
LAWS HAVE NOT DONE ENOUGH TO
DETER THIS DANGEROUS PRACTICE
FOR EXAMPLE THE DMV REPORTS
THAT IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND
AND SIXTEEN THERE WERE NEARLY
TWO HUNDRED NINE THOUSAND SUCH
OFFENSES TICKETS GIVEN OUT
THE NUMBER JUMPED TO TWENTY
PERCENT THE FOLLOWING YEAR
THOSE THE MOST RECENT STATS
SO AFTER THAT TWENTY PERCENT
JUMP THERE WERE TWO HUNDRED
AND FORTY FOUR THOUSAND
TICKETS HANDED OUT IN THE YEAR
TWENTY SEVENTEEN CLEARLY THE
CURRENT PENALTIES -- WHICH
ARE QUITE SMALL A BASE FINE
OF TWENTY DOLLARS FOR FIRST
VIOLATION AND FIFTY DOLLARS
FOR SUBSEQUENT VIOLATIONS
HAVE HAD LITTLE IMPACT ON
THIS DANGEROUS PRACTICE BY
ELEVATING DISTRACTED DRIVING
CITATIONS TO THE SAME STATUS
AS OTHER DANGEROUS DRIVING
VIOLATIONS SUCH AS SPEEDING
OR RUNNING A RED LIGHT THE
MEASURE WILL HELP MAKE ROADS
SAFER FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS
WITH ME TODAY OUR MIKE KNUDSEN
ON BEHALF OF THE AUTOMOBILE
CLUB OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
AND JONATHON FELDMAN ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA POLICE
CHIEFS ASSOCIATION MISTER
KNUDSEN DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF MY
NEEDS IN HERE ON BEHALF OF
-- TRIPOLI AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WE ARE --
ARGUABLY THE LARGEST TRAFFIC
SAFETY ORGANIZATION IN THE
STATE -- WE ARE THE SPONSORS
OF THE MEASURE -- THIS IS BASED
ON OUR RESEARCH IS ONE OF THE
SINGLE MOST DANGEROUS THINGS
THAT HAPPENS ON OUR HIGHWAYS
WE THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE
ABOUT DONE ABOUT IT -- IT IS
A SERIOUS AND GROWING PROBLEM
IF YOU DRIVE AT ALL AND YOU
LOOK TO THE LEFT OR LOOK TO THE
RIGHT YOU WILL SEE SOMEBODY ON
THEIR PHONE UNLESS OF COURSE
YOU'RE ON YOURS THEN YOU MAY
NOT SEE IT BUT -- IT'S A IT'S
A HUGE PROBLEM -- IT'S GETTING
WORSE IT'S UNDER REPORTED
-- AND POINTS MATTER -- WE
NEED TO WE NEED TO CHANGE THE
NARRATIVE WE NEED TO -- CHANGE
THE CULTURE JUST LIKE WE DID
WITH DO YOU EYES AND CONTINUE
TO TRY TO DO JUST LIKE WE DID
WITH SEAT BELTS WE NEED TO
WE NEED TO START SENDING THE
A PROPER MESSAGE THIS IS AN
OUTLIER IN TERMS OF -- UNSAFE
DRIVING ACTIVITY THAT DOESN'T
GET A POINT AND WE'RE JUST
TRYING TO HARMONIZE THE LAW --
DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS VERY
DANGEROUS THING -- WE BELIEVE
THAT IT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCE ACCIDENTS INJURIES
AND DEATHS AND RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE THANK YOU
NEXT WITNESS PLEASE STATEMENT
WE REPRESENT CHAIR MEMBERS
JONATHON FELDMAN WITH THE
CALIFORNIA POLICE CHIEFS
ASSOCIATION -- PLEASE USE
ONE OF THE PRIMARY GROUP THAT
SUPPORTED AB SEVENTEEN EIGHTY
FIVE FROM TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
THAT FIXED LOOPHOLES IN OUR
CURRENT DISTRACTED DRIVING
LAWS THAT WERE ALLOWING PEOPLE
ACTUALLY USE THEIR PHONES
WHILE DRIVING AND ALTHOUGH
WE FIX THAT LOOPHOLE AND IT'S
OUR LAWS CLEAR NOW YOU CAN'T
HOLDEN OPERATE YOUR PHONE
WHILE DRIVING -- IT'S STILL
AN EFFECTIVE IN DETERRING THIS
DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR AND THAT'S
A THAT'S A PROBLEM THIS BILL
IS TRYING TO ADDRESS AND IT
IS A DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR I MEAN
I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE YOU
KNOW THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
PROBABLY NOTED THAT -- LOOKING
AWAY FROM THE ROAD IT FOR FIVE
SECONDS WHILE DRIVING AT FIFTY
FIVE MILES AN HOUR THE SAME
THING IS GOING BLIND FOLDED --
FOR THE LENGTH OF A FOOTBALL
FIELD I DON'T THINK ANYONE
OF US WOULD DO THAT NO BLIND
FOR THEMSELVES WHILE DRIVING
FIFTY FIVE MILES AN HOUR BUT
TOO MANY OF US DO THAT -- SAME
BEHAVIOR BY TEXTING AND LOOKING
AT THE PHONE WHILE DRIVING
-- AND IT'S A GROWING PROBLEM
THE LA TIMES LAST YEAR IN AN
ARTICLE -- TITLED TEXTING WHILE
DRIVING IS AS DANGEROUS AS
DRUNK DRIVING AND WE NEED TO
TREAT IT ACCORDINGLY -- FOUND
THAT TEXTING IS THE MOST COMMON
FORM OF DISTRACTED DRIVING
AND TEAMS ARE PARTICULARLY
AT RISK FOUR TIMES MORE
LIKELY THAN OLDER DRIVERS
TO BE DISTRACTED BY THEIR
CELL PHONES WHILE DRIVING --
VIOLATIONS FOR DRIVING ARE
VIOLATIONS FOR DR -- USING
A CELLPHONE CARE THE LOWEST
BASE FIND FOR ANY VIOLATION
OF THE VEHICLE CODE WAS ALSO
POINTED OUT YOUR NOW SAYS
AND IF THIS IS AS SERIOUS AS
A PROBLEM AS WE ALL BELIEVE
IT IS AS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
PROFESSIONALS RESEARCHERS --
IN STUDIES APPOINTED TO BE YOU
KNOW IT'S TIME THAT WE ACTUALLY
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT IN THIS
BILL TAKES AN APPROPRIATE
STEP TOWARDS REDUCING THE
INJURIES AND FATALITIES
FROM THIS BEHAVIOR SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE

MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS MAP RIGHT
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE TEAMSTERS
IN THE MOUTH MADE A TRANSIT
UNION -- FIRST I'D LIKE TO YOU
-- RECOGNIZED MISTER DALY'S
INTEREST AND AND YOUR INTEREST
IN THIS BILL -- I THINK THAT I
WOULD LIKE TO START BY SAYING
THAT WE OBVIOUSLY RECOGNIZE
IT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM -- OUR
DRIVERS YOU KNOW THEY SPEND AN
INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME ON
THE ROADS THEY SHARE THE ROADS
OF PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKING PART
IN THIS DANGEROUS BEHAVIOR
-- THAT SAID WE ARE TAKING AN
OPPOSING LESS AMENDED POSITION
WE LIKE TO SEE THE BILL -- TAKE
A BIT OF A MORE INCREMENTAL
APPROACH WITH THERE BEING A
FINE FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE IN
A POINT ON EACH SUBSEQUENT --
EVENT THERE AFTER -- ABOUT TEN
YEARS AGO WE BOUGHT BROUGHT
STATE LINE TO CONFORMITY WITH
FEDERAL LAW AND -- A POINT
ON YOUR PERSONAL LICENSE ALSO
AFFECTS YOUR COMMERCIAL LICENSE
-- SO WE'RE NOT WORRIED ABOUT
OUR GUYS WHEN THEY'RE DRIVING
IN THEIR COMMERCIAL VEHICLE
WHERE IT'S OF INSTANT FIREBALL
FENCE IT'S WHAT HAPPENS IN
THE WEEKEND -- WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THEY'RE IN THEIR PERSONAL
TIME -- AND AND I THINK THAT
A LOT OF A LOT HAS BEEN MADE
ABOUT TRAFFIC SAFETY SCHOOL AND
HOW YOU CAN YOU GO TO TRAFFIC
SCHOOL GET THE POINT EXPUNGED
-- ALL THAT CONSIDER YOU CAN
ONLY GO ONCE EVERY EIGHTEEN
MONTHS SO IF YOU GET AT A
POINT IN THE FIRST MONTH FOR
LET'S SEE SPEEDING AND THEN YOU
GET A CELL PHONE USAGE IN THE
SECOND MONTH -- YOU CAN GET AT
POINT ON YOUR PERSONAL LICENSE
YOU WILL GO TODAY IT WOULD IT
WOULD AFFECT YOUR COMMERCIAL
INSURANCE RATES CAUSES THE THAT
THAT -- THE SHARP INCREASE IN
I'M WE'VE HAD MEMBERS WHO HAVE
BEEN FIRED AFTER DRIVING FOR
THIRTY YEARS AND SO -- WE WE
RECOGNIZE IT'S A BIG PROBLEM
BUT WE WE FAVOR LIKE I SAID
THE INCREMENTAL APPROACH I
THINK WE WOULD -- LIKE TO SEE
-- WHETHER IT'S YOU KNOW IF
WE CAME BACK AND REVISIT IT
WOULD HAVE A -- WOULD HAVE
A QUANTIFIABLE I'M YOU KNOW
DECREASE IN THIS BEHAVIOR
WILL WE BE I'M JUST RAISING
PREMIUMS ON PEOPLE SO THANK YOU
THERE'S NOT AN INCREMENTAL
APPROACH TO DEATH SO
I JUST WANNA LET YOU
KNOW THAT MR DAILY --
ANY OTHER MEMBERS THE PUBLIC
THAT WOULD LIKE TO TESTIFY
AGAINST THE AUTHORS BILL
-- ANY QUESTIONS OF THE
AUTHOR OF THE COMMITTEE
MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK YOU FOR
-- BEING A JOINT AUTHOR AND
ELECTED TO POINT THAT OUT TO
TO HIGHLIGHT EVEN THOUGH IT
IS IN THE PAPER WORK THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR --
I HAVE A LONG STANDING VERY
RESPECTFUL HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE TEAMSTERS UNION
AND -- INCLUDING THE GUY WHO
USED TO BE USED TO BE SITTING
THERE IN THAT CHAIR AND HIS
-- NOW OFF WRITING NOVELS OR
SOMETHING BUT -- -- ALL ALL
CONTINUE TO WORK -- -- IN GOOD
FAITH WITH THE TEAMSTERS --
SERIOUS MATTER OF ONE'S JOB
ONE'S LIVELIHOOD WE TAKE THAT
SERIOUSLY I TAKE IT SERIOUSLY
BUT CERTAINLY THIS PROBLEM
WHICH APPEARS TO BE A GROWING
PROBLEM IF WE LOOK AROUND OVER
ON A ON A FREEWAY OR A HIGHWAY
OR EVEN ON A CITY STREET YOU
SEE FOLKS WITH THEIR HEADS
DOWN AND IT'S IT'S STARTLING
IN ITS IT'S SCARY AND IT'S
APPALLING AND IT'S DANGEROUS
AND -- WE HAVE TO JUST TAKE
STEPS TO TRY TO -- -- MAKE A
BIGGER DEAL OUT OF THE OUT OF
THE PROBLEM AND -- SO ALL KEEP
TALKING TO THE OPPONENTS OF
THE OPPONENT AND -- AND KEEP
AN OPEN MIND AND -- -- THAT
PRESS FORWARD BECAUSE IT'S SO
I THINK THIS IS PART OF OUR
JOB I REALLY DO AND THAT'S --
I TAKE THIS SUBJECT SERIOUSLY
AND WE HAVE GOOD SPONSORS SO
WITH THAT -- ARE RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST AN AYE VOTE THANK YOU
MISTER DALY AND THANK YOU FOR
PICKING UP THIS BILL IS HERE
I THINK I DID IT THREE TIMES
SO FAR HEADING KNOWLEDGE IN AS
YOU MENTIONED THE INFRACTION
TWENTY AND FIFTY DOLLARS FOR
THE SECOND OCCURRENCE YOU LOOK
AT THE AMOUNT OF TICKETS THE
HIGHWAY PATROL'S WRITING AT
TWELVE THOUSAND TICKETS A MONTH
AND YOU KNOW WE'RE THOUSAND
OFFICERS DOWN IN THE HIGHWAY
PATROL STATEWIDE SO COULD THEY
BE MORE EFFECTIVELY USED IF
PEOPLE WORK BREAKING THE LAW
IN THIS MATTER AND IT WAS A
LARGER DETERRENT SO THAT HE
WOULDN'T DO THIS -- YOUR OWN
AGAIN TWENTY FIFTY AND IT'S
A THOUSAND DOLLARS TO LEADER
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
IF YOU THROW SOMETHING OUT OF
YOUR WINDOW IN YOUR CAR I'M
NOT SEEING THE EQUITY IN IN IN
A DETERRENT THERE IN THIS AND
AS I MENTIONED I DON'T THINK
THERE'S AN INCREMENTAL WAY
TO DEATH I -- AS A FATHER WHO
LOST A CHILD IN A CAR ACCIDENT
NOT DUE TO DISTRACTED DRIVING
BUT KNOWING THE CONSEQUENCES
SO I REALLY FIRMLY BELIEVE
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND PROPERLY TREATS THIS
OFFENSE IS A MINOR INFRACTION
IN FACT THE TICKET FOR
DISTRACTED DRIVING WHO KILLS
OVER THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE
ANNUALLY AS LOW AS POSSIBLE
PENALTY IN THE VEHICLE CODE
THIS IS THE WRONG MESSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA DRIVERS ANY DRIVERS
OF ANY KIND OF VEHICLE ADDING
A POINT WILL HELP DISCOURAGES
DANGER DAYS BEHAVIOR IS NOT
TO BE PUNITIVE IT'S TO BE
A DETERRENT WE'RE NOT USING
THIS AS A SLEDGE HAMMER TO
STOP PEOPLE FROM DOING WE WANT
THEM TO BE CONSCIOUS OF THE
FACT THAT IF THEY DO DO IT
AND ARE CAUGHT THIS IS GONNA
HAPPEN AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR IN THIS PURPOSE
AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT THE
OPPOSITION'S THERE'S NOT A
SINGLE VIOLATION OF THE VEHICLE
CODE WHERE YOU ONLY GET A
POINT AFTER A SECOND VIOLATION
THIS DEADLY ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
TREATED LIKE ALL OTHER MOVING
VIOLATIONS AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE
IF YOU KILL SOMEBODY SHOULD BE
CHARGED FOR MURDER MANSLAUGHTER
I'M HAPPY TO JOIN US FOR
THIS BILL WITH YOU IT WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS BILL UNTIL IT
GOES TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK
THANK YOU MISTER DALY HI LOU
DO HOPE THAT YOU CAN COME TO
A CONCLUSION MR DAILY IN AND
REMOVE YOUR OPPOSITION BECAUSE
I THINK THAT -- WE'VE TRIED
VERY HARD TO GET TO A POINT
ON THIS BILL OVER THE PAST
SIX YEARS THIS CLASS AND WE
NEED TO BE ABLE TO FIND SOME
RESOLUTION AND UNDERSTAND
THE HIGHWAY PATROL TAXES
I WOULD PATROL
ASSOCIATION BACKS THIS
