The Vulnerable Road User Law would increase the maximum penalty for hitting and injuring or killing a bicyclist from $1000 and up to 90 days in jail to $3000 and up to one year in jail. Of course, even if that legislation passes, it seems like little more than a slap on the wrist for guilty motor- ists. In issue #33 I wrote about the hit and run death of James Price. After several months without justice, his killer was brought into custody and accepted a plea bargain of two and a half to five years in prison. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Jeffrey McClure pleaded guilty to “accidents involving death or per- sonal injury” and “accidents involving death or per- sonal injury while not properly licensed.” Again, the term “accident” hardly seems fitting. Jeffrey McClure collided with James Price and left him for dead. And then he hid from the law like a guilty murderous coward. I suppose as cyclists and advocates we have to take what we can get. At least justice has been served to some extent, albeit not to the biblical level of “an eye for an eye” that we might wish for. And thanks to the innumerous advocates working on our behalf, things continue to change for the better. Urban Velo issue #36, April 2013. Print run: 5000 copies.
