Big changes hit California roads in 2026. Some of these laws affect what happens after an accident, others change what drivers are expected to do every day. Either way, knowing the rules is the first step to staying safe and keeping your record clean. Here is a quick breakdown of what changed.
DUI Offenders Face Tougher Consequences
California expanded its breathalyzer requirement for DUI offenders starting in 2026. More drivers convicted of a DUI are now required to install a device in their car that will not let the engine start unless they pass a breath test. This program is locked in through 2033.
School Zones Are About to Get Slower
California passed a law that will drop school zone speed limits from 25 mph down to 20 mph. It will be the new statewide standard starting January 1, 2031. If you drive near schools, now is a great time to start adjusting your habits before it becomes the law.
You Have to Move Over for More Than Just Emergency Vehicles
The old rule said to move over for police, fire, and ambulances. The new rule goes further. If any vehicle is stopped on the road with hazard lights flashing, you are now required to slow down or move over. That includes tow trucks, road crews, and everyday drivers pulled over on the shoulder.
Illegal License Plate Covers Now Come With a Big Fine
Those tinted or shaded covers that make license plates harder to read? Making them in California is now a $1,000 infraction. The law is aimed at cutting down on toll evasion and other activity that depends on keeping plates unreadable.
Driving Drunk and Causing Death Has Steeper Consequences
If someone is convicted of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, they now face a probation term of three to five years instead of the previous two. It is a clear signal that California is getting more serious about holding impaired drivers accountable.
