Yes, it says it’s false. Here’s the pertinent line:

identifies whether they may be impaired and prevents or limits motor vehicle operation “if an impairment is detected.”

That’s called a killswitch.

On the law itself, it’s Section 24220 - b - 1 - a - ii AND 24220 - b - 1 - b - ii

Just a reminder that fact checkers blatantly lie, and will even tell you they’re lying. It takes like two minutes to fact check laws like this.

    It not exactly rocket science. It’s a kill switch. It does what the name implies. It locks out usage (kills) the machine when a certain criteria is met.

    And if you can’t see why I don’t want the government putting a kill switch in my car that I own, you’re not trying very hard.

      When that criteria is you driving drunk, I think it’s a great idea. I don’t want to get hit by some idiot.

        Thats not the point. The point is that the fact checkers lied.

          No, they didn’t.

          They simplified and made a headline that might be misinterpreted but that’s not malice. Again, read the article before posting stupid shit.

            Theyre journalists. Presumably, they know how to write a headline. This means its not incompetence but malice.

              People can’t make mistakes?

              Headlines are also often written by other people to maximise interest.

              Why does it even fucking matter? Any reasonable person would just read the article if they cared.

              If your entire argument is that the headline is technically wrong then you have no argument.

              Stop complaining about nothing.

                You’re arguing with people who legitimately think the previous election was “stolen”. They don’t believe in facts and are in the habit of living in a different world than the rest of us.
