ABC10 reported on the new California traffic laws taking effect January 1, 2026, including the Assembly Bill 390 expansion of the Slow Down, Move Over duty to cover all stopped roadway vehicles displaying hazard lights and strengthened DUI penalties, according to ABC10. The reporting summarized the broader package of changes that became effective with the new year.
Operator takeaway
Your California first-quarter driver briefings should pair the Move Over expansion with the updated DUI penalty framework so passing-driver liability is presented as a single connected risk.
