Get ready for more car-bicycle accidents, more injuries, more deaths, and higher car insurance premiums as Governor Jared Polis gave the green light to cyclists to blow through red lights and stop signs by signing a bicycle right-of-way bill into law on Wednesday. Dan anticipates lawsuits galore and mass confusion on the roadways, as drivers are either completely unaware of the new law or uncertain how to treat intersections with bicycles flying through them at the cyclist's own discretion. In theory, those on bikes are expected to treat stop lights as stop signs, while yielding at stop signs, but this sudden blurry gray area will leave all encounters at intersections open to interpretation in the eye of the beholder.
Also, John Kellner tells Dan that in cases involving felony possession of hard drugs prior to decriminalization in Colorado, just 11 of 756 charged served prison time (1.46%), rest avoided criminal record through diversion program for addicts. The district attorney for the state's 18th judicial district continues his fight to make possession of fentanyl - in any amount - a felony under state law. A fight he intends to take all the way to the Attorney General's office, in his challenge of Phil Weiser on the ballot this fall.
