Re: No need to watch for bikes, peds in Virginia ....

That Va. House bill didn't really do anything. It didn't provide any penalties for failure to pay attention to riders, children, or "any obviously confused, incapacitated, or intoxicated person on the highways." Good luck establishing that in a prosecution.

Virginia really needs to look at something more substantive, such as modifying the laws on contributory negligence, which hold that if a cyclist in a car-bike accident is even 1% negligent, the rider is out of luck with regards to liability.

Re: Lance. I like Lance. I don't agree with about 90% of what he writes, but I do admire his steadfast ability to tangle with us. Opposing viewpoints are helpful. And you have to admire lines like "taxpayers shouldn't be viewed as ATM machines for a bloated bureaucracy."
