> Anyone who took their test in the early 2000s is likely unaware that changed.

That's silly. People become aware of new laws all the time without having to attend a training course or read an updated handbook.

I took the CA driver's written test for the first time in 2004 when I moved here from another state. I don't recall whether or not there was anything in the handbook about bike lanes, but I certainly found out independently when it became illegal to park in one.





I don't doubt that many people are aware of many of the new laws. But I strongly suspect that a very significant number of drivers are unaware of many new laws.
