So a big topic I've recently read about on the blog BikingInLA is the issue of who's to blame when it comes to car-bike accidents. Most recently, an anti-harassment ordinance has come up at the LA City Council that would give the right to bikers to file a lawsuit for the harassment of drivers. Also, the "Give me 3" campaign is in full effect around the county with advertisements along the roads that recommend drivers to give cyclists 3 feet of space between each other. However, the issue of driver sentiment towards cyclists hasn't changed, and if anything, has angered drivers who feel more entitled to be on the road than bikers.
In the LA Times post entitled "Talk Back LA," drivers expressed their obvious rage that bikers are being given more protection as users of the roads as do the drivers.
