D.C. Council votes to make it easier for cyclists to collect insurance after a crash

This will be huge. As someone who has ridden in DC for decades, it’s always been nerve-wracking to know that in the event of an accident, getting recovery from a responsible driver’s insurance policy was a total crap shoot.

Great news. Time for Virginia and Maryland to get on this also.

BTW, the article says that the council needs to vote a second time on the bill, after summer recess, before it can become law. Why?

DC requires a second reading and vote before going to the Mayor for all legislation.
