New bill could repeal lowrider cruising in California

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) Low riders are one step closer to decriminalizing cruising.

After years of fighting to repeal the ban in National City, our local assembly member David Alvarez introduced AB 436.

The bill would repeal cruising bans in the State of California.

“I’m about to take you for a cruise down Highland Avenue,” said Marisa Rosales as she recalled what it was like to cruise the street.

Cruising was Rosales’ Sunday ritual in the 1990s. She said being behind the wheel of her 1949 Hudson is therapeutic.

“Like, it takes you away. Like, all the worries of life go away,” said Rosales.

When I see one of these low-riders cruising down the street, I think “that’s cool.” Is there still some reason to regulate them, more than other cars? And please, please don’t give me that climate change rap.
