Email/call in your support TODAY for VA SB 264 to make cycling safer

[StopMeansStop]

I’m not buying this. There are already laws on the books that cover passing and safe distance. This bill is grandstanding and will only serve to fuel the “us vs them” fire. I’d much rather have the legislature spend their time on more fruitful bills, like the Idaho Stop.

[A to the L]

Just an update for those who might be interested – unfortunately the committee voted 4:3 not to send the bill forward.

That info is per one of the delegates who kindly wrote me back. I found the text on the bill tracking site to be more confusing in its wording, “02/22/12 House: Subcommittee recommends passing by indefinitely by voice vote”

Does anyone happen to know what the committee found to be unfavorable about the bill? I haven’t been successful in locating that info.

Thanks much.
