I'm pretty sure Matt is saying no such thing.
The blog post points to a specific example where a 'vulnerable users'
law didn't help, because the trooper chose not to apply it. In this
case, the driver got a $260 fine for a crash that put a cyclist in
critical condition.
I think there is a problem that driving infractions are not treated
seriously by the police. If the vulnerable driving law will help
correct that, then its a good thing. But the Oregon incident raises
important questions about how it will be applied.
In my opinion, the vulnerable user law sounds like it could be a good
thing. But I'd be happy with actually enforcing the laws we already
have.
Quoting William Hauda <[email protected]>:
Do you think a blog is a reason to end advocacy for
protection of bicyclists?
