BILL NUMBER:  AB 909
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2010




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 909 without my signature.

A driver running a red-light, whether they are traveling straight, or
turning right, makes a very dangerous traffic movement that
endangers the nearby motoring public, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
Modifying existing law to make red-light violations from a right turn
less egregious sends the wrong message to the public that California
is tolerant of these types of offenses.  It is our responsibility to
protect the motoring public and not increase the risk of traffic
collisions.

Therefore, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
