DMV’s New 2018 Laws. Using Pot in Vehicles will be Outlawed in California. No Consuming Marijuana in your Vehicle.



With the new year approaching we are going to see some new laws on the books in California. An extremely hot topic is the usage of Marijuana, especially in vehicles. The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) wants to regulate the use of marijuana and marijuana products not only while driving; but also, for people riding as passengers in your car. If a police officer pulls a vehicle over for smoking or ingesting marijuana products while driving or views a riding passenger consuming marijuana, the driver can be ticketed. The consequences of this ticket will be "points" (negligent vehicle operator points) being added to your driver’s license. In addition to the ticket fines, "points" means a rise in insurance premiums.
