NEW (SLIGHTLY) ENHANCED PENALTIES FOR DRIVERS WHO INJURE OR KILL BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS IN FLORIDA
Florida finally passed a law this year that enhances the penalties for drivers who seriously injure or kill a vulnerable road user like a pedestrian or bicyclist. As I’ve covered before, bills that would have provided enhanced penalties in these cases have consistently failed in the Florida legislature in 2019, 2020, and 2022. But we now have a victory for our side.
