Deep below the Mojave Desert is liquid gold — trillions of gallons of water in an underground aquifer stretching hundreds of square miles on either side of Interstate 40. It's been there for thousands of years, but only a tiny bit of it is actually tapped and harvested. Last year Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1137, which was first implemented in January and requires all oil and gas wells to be at least 3,200 feet away from homes, schools, hospitals, daycares, parks, detention facilities and businesses open to the public. District 80 Assembly member David Alvarez announced a new bill in Sacramento Monday, to repeal sections of the California Vehicle Code and make cruising legal in cities across the state.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're replaying a classic episode where your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Micha Star Liberty of Liberty Law Office, Inc. (https://libertylaw.com/).    Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   Episode Details: Award-winning California trial attorney Micha Star Liberty discusses how she successfully advocated for the grieving parents of 24-year-old Amelie Le Moullac after she was fatally struck by a commercial vehicle while riding in a San Francisco bike lane in 2013. A responsible bicyclist, Amelie wore her helmet and stayed in the designated bicycle lane, but neither action prevented her from being run over by a 13,000-ton Daylight Foods, Inc. box truck, which illegally crossed the bike lane to make a sudden right turn. Amelie died from her injuries, including a fractured skull and crushed torso. Micha Star Liberty helped secure key video footage of the crash from a nearby business security camera after the San Francisco Police Department failed to conduct a thorough investigation, which was later revealed to be part of a larger bias against bicyclists. Despite the defense's attempts to blame Amelie and to depict her as a reckless bicyclist, Micha Star Liberty invoked a California Vehicle Code statute, which underscored the fact that Amelie had the right to remain in her bike lane and treat it as a safety zone in the event of a turning vehicle, which trumped the defense's use of a more general statute. In January 2015, a San Francisco jury ruled that Amelie shared no responsibility in her tragic death, found the driver to be at fault and awarded Amelie's parents a total of $4 million in damages.   Read/Download the Complete Trial Documents   Guest Bio: Micha Star Liberty Micha Star Liberty is the owner of Liberty Law Office, Inc. — a diverse legal practice primarily representing individuals who have suffered a serious injury or abuse, including child sexual abuse.

Bicycling and the Law Richard L. Duquette EP67 When Is a Turning Movement Illegal? Turning movements include 90-degree turns and lane changes. When done properly, they keep a bicyclist safe on the road. When is a turning movement illegal? Tune in! The Need for Safety The California Vehicle Code 22017 states that turning movement must be done with "reasonable safety." For that, the bicyclist must provide a signal before making a turn.   Sometimes a car will speed up and try to catch up with the bicyclist. It is important for the bicyclist to protect himself and abide by the law when making a turn. Using Turn Signals for Protection Bicyclists should use turn signals. It is important to consider if a vehicle may be affected by the turn.   Unfortunately, not all vehicles are paying attention when a signal is given. They could be busy texting, listening to the radio, or distracted. Nonetheless, Richard suggests to make it a habit to use turn signals for protection. Better Safe than Sorry Many don't use signals when riding alone on a road. When an accident has occurred, they often say they did not see a car.   The California Driver’s Handbook suggests that the driver should give a signal even when there appears to be no other vehicle around. According to the Handbook, "The vehicle you don't see might hit you."   Here’s a list of references for When Is a Turning Movement Illegal:   California Vehicle Code 22017   California Driver’s Handbook   Download and listen to the entire episode of When Is a Turning Movement Illegal.

Duquette EP66 Night Riders and Commuters   Commuting and riding a bicycle, both improves health and saves money. More and more people are deciding to do so even in the dark. But when faced with an injury, how well do you know your rights? Listen to this episode on night riders and commuters.   "Although (commuting) is good for the heart and for the planet, you have to take safety very seriously." - Richard Duquette The Law's Definition of Darkness According to Richard, insurance companies will try to claim your negligence. They see you partly at fault for an injury when commuting or riding in the dark, at times.   You can protect yourself by following the rules of the Vehicle Code. The California Vehicle Code defines darkness as "half an hour before dark or half an hour before sunrise." Lights for Safety When you are riding in the dark, it is important that you follow the rules and guidelines regarding bicycle lights. Consider placing lights on:   Front of your bicycle Rear of your bicycle Helmet (new safety features illuminate back of helmets) Pedals Your legs Wheels Clothing   Front lights must be seen 300 feet away. Mount a light on your handlebars. Doing so illuminates both your bicycle and the road. Types of Lights There are several kinds of lights. The two most important are the high-intensity discharge (HID) and the light-emitting diode (LED) lights.   Richard recommends using the LED light because it lasts longer and shines wider. You may check mtbr.com for further information on bicycle lights.   Here’s a list of references for this episode on Night Riders and Commuters: CA Vehicle Code 21201 Mountain Bike Review   Download and listen to this entire episode on Night Riders and Commuters.

Duquette EP63 DMV Justice   What do you do when you encounter an accident with an incompetent motorist? On today's episode, Richard Duquette discusses DMV Justice. Listen to his insights on how the Department of Motor Vehicles can help, and understand how you can proceed with your case. Dealing with an Incompetent Motorist In bicycling, you could encounter motorists who are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's. Or, they may simply be old and decrepit.     Many do not want to give up their independence and driver's license. The DMV can help you if you are following a fatal or serious accident. They can investigate and demand for reexamination. Gathering Strong Evidence When you encounter such cases, gather evidence. You can download the video from your bike camera.   Print screenshots of the motorist's behaviors. It is also better if you have a picture of the driver and his license plate. All these help establish the body of the alleged crime. Cooperating with the Department of Motor Vehicles You may contact the DMV if the driver doesn't have mental or appropriate skills. Send them a letter with the evidence you've gathered.   Once they are aware, that's the time that they take action. They may demand and issue a priority examination.   Here’s a list of references for this episode DMV Justice: California Codes of Regulation § 100.01 California Vehicle Code 12818, 13800, 13801 DMV website   Download and listen to the entire episode on DMV Justice.

GO HERE FOR OUR OFFICIAL WEBSITE ==> http://www.lawabidingbiker.com PODCAST-In this episode we talk in length about the American Motorcycle Association's (AMA's) recent quiet decision to endorse motorcycle lane splitting, which is only legal in a few areas right now, such as California. Are there safety concerns with motorcycle lane splitting for the rider? Is it safer to allow motorcycle lane splitting to avoid other hazards? What are the other hazards that would be avoided by allowing lane splitting? What states may allow lane splitting and do other countries allow it? We answer these and many more questions during this episode. This is an issue all bikers/motorcyclists should get involved with and to learn the facts before making an opinion. We try to give you all the information in this biker/motorcycle podcast episode, so you can do so. You really must listen to the podcast to get all the necessary information. A summary of the AMA position statement says: “Given the ongoing success of lane splitting in California and the recent enthusiasm for lane splitting and/or filtering in other states, the AMA endorses these practices and will assist groups and individuals working to bring legal lane splitting and/or filtering to their states.” The AMA goes on to say, “Motorcyclists who oppose lane splitting should remember that it is optional in California. Permitting lane splitting is not [...]the same as requiring it, so those opposed to the practice should consider the desires of other motorcyclists who believe they would benefit from it. Lane splitting is an issue of choice.” Motorcyclists encounter challenges from other roadway users and are constantly vigilant to unsafe conditions around them. One of the most dangerous situations for any on-highway motorcyclist is being caught in congested traffic, where stop-and-go vehicles, distracted and inattentive vehicle operators, and environmental conditions pose an increased risk of physical contact with another vehicle or hazard. Obviously, minor contact between a vehicle and motorcycle can be tragic for the motorcycle rider. The Hurt Report1, the most comprehensive motorcycle crash causation study to date, noted that, “Moderate or heavy traffic was the situation at 59.2% of the accidents [studied].” Reducing a motorcyclist’s exposure to vehicles that are frequently accelerating and decelerating on congested roadways can be one way to reduce front- and rear-end collisions for those most vulnerable in traffic. In many countries motorcycle lane splitting is a very normal and accepted practice. It seems the United States is behind the times. Allowing motorcycle lane splitting can provide an escape route for motorcyclists who would otherwise be trapped or struck from behind. There is evidence (Hurt, 1981) that traveling between lanes of stopped or slow-moving cars (i.e., lane splitting) on multiple-lane roads (such as interstate highways) slightly reduces crash frequency compared with staying within the lane and moving with other traffic. Motorcycle lane splitting likely offers a means of reducing congestion in addition to possible safety benefits. For decades, California has been the only state to permit lane splitting. While not specifically permitted or prohibited in the California Vehicle Code, lane splitting authority comes from the California Highway Patrol. Of course all lane splitting should be done in a safe and prudent manner we believe here at Law Abiding Biker Motorcycle Podcast and Media. So far, states other than California, including Nevada, Oregon, Texas, etc., have considered legislation to legalize some form of lane splitting, but none have been signed into law. Additional Episode Information: In this episode we had an email follow up to Episode #37 reference the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland. Listener John O Keeffe of Ireland emails: Great pod cast (37).....Thank you for mentioning the wild Atlantic way. Just to answer some of your questions. There are several motorcycle retails in Ireland. However the only company renting Harley's is Celtic rider, they have Electra glides and fat bobs. They are situated in Dublin city which is the Capitol of Ireland. I'm living in cork city which is at the starting point or finishing point of the wild Atlantic way, depending on weather you start up north in Belfast with the IRA or in cork city! There is also a video on YouTube advertising the wild Atlantic way! Check it out.. Ps.. Tell the guys that the Guinness, Jameson and Bushmills never stops flowing in Ireland. Next, we had a Law Abiding Biker Facebook Page post from listener Jim Dimitrious of Western KY. He sent a great idea on how to mount a motorcycle wheel chock. It looked like he used a 2 foot wide by maybe 6 foot long piece of plywood and bolted the motorcycle wheel chock to that. It looks like by the time the front wheel gets to the chock the back wheel is on the plywood, thus holding it down, so it doesn't slide (push) the wheel chock forward. Keep the rubber side down and the shiny side up! ________________________________________________________________ CHECK US OUT AND SUBSCRIBE:   Website: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com   Email & Voicemail: http://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/Contact   Phone Hotline: 509-731-3548   Twitter: https://twitter.com/LawAbidingBiker   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawabidingbiker        YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/scrappy587     Google Plus Page: https://plus.google.com/+Lawabidingbiker587   Instagram: http://instagram.com/lawabidingbiker     RSS: feed://www.LawAbidingBiker.com/feed   iTunes Direct Link to Podcast:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast/id622424087    Stitcher Radio: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/law-abiding-biker-podcast   TuneIn Radio: http://tunein.com/radio/Law-Abiding-Biker-p562288/
