AB 74, as introduced, Muratsuchi. Vehicles: street takeovers, sideshows, and racing.

Existing law makes it a crime for a person to engage in a motor vehicle speed contest on a highway or an exhibition of speed on a highway, or to aid or abet therein. Commencing July 1, 2025, a court may suspend a person’s driver’s license for 90 days to 6 months for an exhibition of speed, or aiding and abetting an exhibition of speed, if the violation occurred as part of a sideshow. Existing law defines “sideshow” as 2 or more persons blocking or impeding traffic on a highway for the purpose of performing motor vehicle stunts, motor vehicle speed contests, motor vehicle exhibitions of speed, or reckless driving for spectators.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to street takeovers, sideshows, and racing.
