LinkLinks Curbed: D.C. bill would ensure legal protections for electric scooter and electric bike riders By Editor On Jan 29, 2019 Last updated Jan 29, 2019 27 Share In 2016, the D.C. Council unanimously passed a law that reformed the city’s legal standard for who is at fault in crashes involving a car and a pedestrian or cyclist. Under the previous standard, known as “contributory negligence,” injured walkers and bikers were barred from seeking financial damages if they were found to be even 1 percent responsible for a collision.
