From time to time, there are new traffic laws put into place all over the country. As of January 1, 2017, there were some new additions to the traffic code in California. While these have been in place for nearly a year, there may still be some people who do not know what the laws entail for drivers in Los Angeles or Glendale, CA. These are just a few of the ones that you need to be aware of from Voi Insurance Solutions, LLC.

• Electronic Wireless Device Usage – It is now illegal to hold an electronic device in your hand while driving. You can still mount your device on your vehicle if you use it for things such as navigation as long as it does not impact your view of the road. 
• Child Safety Seats – If you have children that ride with you in your vehicle, you will want to make sure that you abide by this new law. Now, children that are 2 years old or under need to be rear facing and in the appropriate child seat unless they meet specific height and weight limits. 
• Fee Increases – There are two different fee increases this year to be aware of. The first is the vehicle registration fee that is increasing from $10 to $63. The second is the environmental license plate fee increase which has increased by $10 for new license plates and $5 for transfer, renewal, duplication, or retention. 

It is important to keep up with any changing laws in your area to know that you are staying compliant.
