AB417

Existing law makes it unlawful to drive a vehicle in an unauthorized speed contest or in an unauthorized trick driving display on a highway or premises to which the public has access. (NRS 484B.653) Section 3 of this bill provides that if a peace officer, while investigating an act that may constitute driving in an unauthorized speed contest or in an unauthorized trick driving display, has reasonable cause to believe that the vehicle used or suspected of being used in the unauthorized speed contest or unauthorized trick driving display fails to comply with certain requirements related to vehicle equipment or is unsafe under certain circumstances, the peace officer must inspect the vehicle to determine whether those conditions exist. Section 3 authorizes the peace officer to issue a citation to the registered owner of the vehicle if the peace officer determines from the inspection that the conditions exist. Existing law provides that a court may, in addition to certain other penalties, order the impoundment of a vehicle used in the commission of certain offenses related to unauthorized speed contests or unauthorized trick driving displays. (NRS 484B.653) If a court issues an order for impoundment, section 5 of this bill also requires the court to issue an order requiring the Department of Motor Vehicles to rescind and cancel the registration of the vehicle unless the registered owner completes an inspection of the vehicle in the manner prescribed by section 1 of this bill.
