A CalMatters investigation reveals that California courts have not reported numerous vehicular manslaughter convictions to the DMV over the last five years, leading to dangerous drivers retaining their licenses. The case of Marvin Salazar, who killed his friend, exemplifies this problem; despite his conviction, he continued to drive until the DMV was finally notified. This oversight highlights systemic issues within both the courts and the DMV, allowing drivers with serious criminal pasts to remain on the roads, endangering public safety further.
California courts have failed to report hundreds of vehicular manslaughter convictions to the DMV, enabling convicted motorists to retain their driver's licenses improperly.
