Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A biker at 14th & U St. in Northwest D.C.
The District is considering changing rules around car crashes involving bikes or pedestrians. D.C. is one of only a handful of places that still has “contributory negligence” laws, which mean that a cyclist or pedestrian who is found to be even partially at fault cannot sue a driver who struck them. We discuss what a change would mean for those who get around by car, on foot or on two wheels.
Guests
- Bruce Deming Attorney; Author, "Surviving the Crash: Your Legal Rights in a Bicycle Accident"
- Greg Billing Executive Director, Washington Area Bicyclist Association
- Wayne McOwen Executive Director, D.C. Insurance Federation
