This bill creates a penalty enhancer for those convicted of violating three or
more specified traffic offenses within a single course of conduct. In addition to any
penalty imposed for the distinct offenses, a person who violates three or more of the
following offenses during a single course of conduct will be required to attend a traffic
safety school and will have his or her operating privilege suspended:
1. Reckless driving that endangers the safety of any person or property or that
causes injury to a person or property.
2. Disregarding a traffic control signal or flashing red or yellow lights.

3. Following another vehicle too closely.
4. Violating the rules of right-of-way, including failure to yield the
right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, funeral procession, military convoy, highway
maintenance or construction workers whose presence is indicated by flagmen or
warning signs or to a pedestrian or bicyclist crossing at an intersection or crosswalk.
5. Disregarding a signal to stop at a railroad crossing.
6. Violating a maximum speed limit.
7. Overtaking or passing a vehicle in an unsafe or prohibited manner.
8. Turning or changing lanes in a vehicle without giving the appropriate signal
for at least 100 feet.
The period of suspension is six months or, if the person has had his or her
operating privilege suspended for a similar course of conduct within the preceding
24 months, one year.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
