[ST] SB 1021 Again

[Marc Danziger <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just another noodge to ask folks to send a fax to the Senate 
Transportation Committee staffer who is managing the hearing. On April 
19, we'll be heard and given the broad level of support (AMA, ABATE, 
California Bicycle Coalition, CHP and AAA are neutral - which is a win), 
there's a good change that given a show of support for the bill, it'll 
pass the 1st time.

The bill will add an infraction for "unsafe operation" which is defined 
as violating one of the right-of-way statutes (run a red light, stop 
sign, turn left, etc.) and causing injury. We're working on adding a 
provision on killing someone, and that will happen somewhere in the 
process, and also working on a provision requiring the DMV to add copy 
emphasizing the issue in future instructional materials (not recalling 
any of the existing stuff).

You can read it here:

Drop me a note offlist of there are any wuestions, but what I'm asking 
is that you send a fax in support to:

California Senate Transportation and Housing Committee
Carrie Cornwell, Chief Consultant
(carrie.cornwall@xxxxxxxxxx)
State Capitol, Room 2209
Sacramento, CA 95814
Fax (916) 445-2209


...Thanks!
