Under the new pilot, every driver cited by the CHP for exceeding 100 mph will have their citation automatically forwarded to the DMV's Driver Safety Branch, no matter their prior record. The DMV will review the case and the driver's history to determine next steps, which could include suspension or even revocation of driving privileges. This administrative process can proceed independently of any court conviction.

Over the next six weeks, Oakland plans to install 18 speed cameras that will lead to the automatic ticketing of drivers who exceed the speed limit by more than 10 miles per hour. They will be the first speed cameras in the city in 11 years, since a handful that had been installed were turned off or taken down after privacy advocates successfully argued that their use risked violating residents' civil rights.
