John,
Most states have this law. I'm surprised that the Peoples Republic of California wasn't first!!
I've noticed that here in Fl. most people, including the police, ignore this law as well as signaling, stopping before a rt. turn on red, speeding, seat belt usage, etc. I guess those laws are for everyone else but "me" - at least that seems to be the common perception.
Off my soapbox now......
Jim
