Section 14601.4 Of Chapter 4. Violation Of License Provisions From California Vehicle Code >> Division 6. >> Chapter 4.
14601.4
. (a) It is unlawful for a person, while driving a vehicle
with a license suspended or revoked pursuant to Section 14601.2 to do
an act forbidden by law or neglect a duty imposed by law in the
driving of the vehicle, which act or neglect proximately causes
bodily injury to a person other than the driver. In proving the
person neglected a duty imposed by law in the driving of the vehicle,
it is not necessary to prove that a specific section of this code
was violated.
(b) A person convicted under this section shall be imprisoned in
the county jail and shall not be released upon work release,
community service, or other release program before the minimum period
of imprisonment, prescribed in Section 14601.2, is served. If a
person is convicted of that offense and is granted probation, the
court shall require that the person convicted serve at least the
minimum time of imprisonment, as specified in those sections, as a
term or condition of probation.
(c) When the prosecution agrees to a plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to a charge of a violation of this section in satisfaction
of, or as a substitute for, an original charge of a violation of
Section 14601.2, and the court accepts that plea, except, in the
interest of justice, when the court finds it should be inappropriate,
the court shall, pursuant to Section 23575, require the person
convicted, in addition to other requirements, to install a certified
ignition interlock device on a vehicle that the person owns or
operates for a period not to exceed three years.
(d) This section also applies to the operation of an off-highway
motor vehicle on those lands that the Chappie-Z'berg Off-Highway
Motor Vehicle Law of 1971 (Division 16.5 (commencing with Section
38000)) applies as to off-highway motor vehicles, as described in
Section 38001.
(e) Upon receipt of the abstract of a conviction under this
section, the department shall not reinstate the privilege to operate
a motor vehicle until the department receives proof of either the
"Verification of Installation" form as described in paragraph (2) of
subdivision (g) of Section 13386 or the Judicial Council Form I.D.
100.
(f) If Section 23573 is applicable, then subdivisions (c) and (e)
are not applicable.
