Motorist error: Motorist runs stop sign

The Law Officer's Guide to Bicycle Safety

Welcome and Overview
Welcome to the Law Officer's Guide to Bicycle Safety. In 2002, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded a grant to MassBike to develop a national program to educate police departments about laws relating to bicyclists. Initial seed money for the project was provided by the Charles River Wheelmen. The program is intended to be taught by law enforcement officers to law enforcement officers as a stand-alone resource. The major objective of the program is to give law enforcement officers of all backgrounds the tools they need to properly enforce the laws that affect bicyclists. The program focuses on all police officers, including those who may not be interested in bicycling or who are not able to attend in-depth trainings. The program will also be useful to police departments who wish to do outreach to the bicycle community or other organizations.

NHTSA is currently restructuring the program so that police can receive continuing education credit for completing it. The materials MassBike developed are available here for free downloading by interested citizens, officers, and advocacy groups.

[samten10a]

There was a sign at the corner (yield) it is not easy to see in the video from the angle of the camera and should have had a cut away to show it better to make the point.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD THE PERSON BE TICKETED!?! Can the damaged party please stand up? How is this justice? Noone got hurt, this is as stupid as throwing someone in jail for smoking pot. Nonviolent crimes are not crimes, this isn't freedom.
