California Senate Votes to Allow GPS on Windshield California lawmakers vote to stop police from ticketing motorists for using windshield-mounted GPS units.
The
California state Senate voted 38-1 last Thursday to legalize the use of
portable GPS navigation units in automobiles. Under current law, police
can pull over and ticket motorists who have anything mounted on the
windshield not authorized by the state. GPS-using motorists stung by
expensive "obstructed view" citations are often unaware that using a
device specifically designed for in-car use could be illegal. To date,
California has only carved out exemptions for the use of window tint,
toll road transponders and stickers used to remind motorists of an
upcoming oil change.
Senate Bill 1567 would add an exemption
for the use of a seven-inch GPS screen mounted on in the lower corner
of the passenger-side windshield or a five-inch screen on the driver's
side. According to the bill, the device may be installed, "if the
system is used only for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle
is being operated and outside of an airbag deployment zone."
