Vulnerable Road User Laws are designed to provide protections for vulnerable users that may be legally using our roadways such as bicyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and equestrians, and in some cases, even construction workers. The laws provide for enhanced penalties should a motorist be involved in a crash with a member of these user groups causing injury to death. Often these penalties do not amount to fully fledged criminal penalties, but more often include increased fines, drivers license restrictions, community service.
Help us show our elected officials that Vulnerable Road User Laws are needed locally and state wide.

As a cyclist that was hit and then driven over all I can say is this law is long over due. I've had friends hit running, cycling, and riding on motorcycles and the wreckless drivers all escape with nothing. If I carelessly wave a gun around people would freak out and I'd be charged with wreckless endangerment yet our lawmakers allow drivers to injure and kill without consequence. Our blood is on your hands.
Indiana needs a vulnerable user law to protect our citizens from the increasing number of inattentive and distracted drivers. The penalty should be severe enough to make people understand the seriousness of this type of law,
I work on truck transportation, drive a car and ride a bike. We all have to share the road safely with each other.
As a person who rides a bike, and as a person who drives a car, I fully understand what it means to be a vulnerable road user. Cars can be dangerous, and it is our responsibility to operate in a safe and predictable way,
Law should include the intimidation wording of the Houston law.
May no more cycling families deal with the tragedy of losing one of their own.
We need this!

I regularly ride to work 25 miles each way thru Indy, and also ride for recreation. I've had many close calls and a few minor crashes due to drivers. Anything to raise driver awareness would help.
