Last week we reported that the Washington Area Bicyclists Association was pushing for a new law that would allow cyclists that are harassed, intimidated or assaults by drivers to more easily take them to court. They seem to have found a sponsor on the D.C. Council.

If you’ve ever ridden a bike and had a driver purposely swerve towards you (or outright try and run you down), there are few legal remedies, despite the potential danger you could face. The Washington Area Bicyclist Association wants that to change.
