If you haven't already, contact your VA State Senator TODAY! SB566 moving on to full Senate.
//This morning, SB 566 will be heard in committee in the Virginia Senate. SB 566 is the Senate version of Virginia’s own three feet legislation, but it also outlaws tailgating, and creates a a new Class 3 misdemeanor of Careless Driving — to counter the difficulty of charging motorists with Reckless Driving when they kill or injure cyclists. This bill, along with the House version HB 1048, are the most directly relevant to cyclists in Virginia this year. Before you go to work today, please contact your Virginia representative, and let them know that you support this legislation.
