‘Outrageous’ traffic bill ripped by mom of boy killed by cab

Yel🌳low cab and Uber drivers who strike a pꦅedestrian or cyclist with the right of way would only be hit with a summons under a new bill that passed the state Senate on Tuesday.

A law crea꧂ted last year under Vision Zero, Mayor Bill de Blasio’s p🍬lan to end traffic deaths, made it a misdemeanor for such drivers if the injuries are critical or fatal.

Sen. Martin Dilan introduced legislation that he said was meant to protect bus drivers — buꦛt the city says it wa💙s written so broadly, any for-hire vehicle driver is exempt.

“This preferential treatment would be extended to the operators of taxis, livery cars, paratransit vehicles, priva🅠te bus companies, commuter vans, and any other vehicles used to transport passengers for hires,” wrote Sherif Soliꩵman, a city director of state legislative affairs, in a memo opposing the bill.

Both the NYPD and de Blasio’s administration oppose the legislation, accordingಌ to a spokesman for th🧔e mayor.

“It would drastically weaken protections for New Yo⭕rk City’s pedestrians,” said spokesman Wiley Norvell. “It would seriously impede the investigation and decision-making of police officers.”

The bus drivers’ union said the only change was how drivers are treated by cops.

“It is still a misdemeanor with the same penalties — potential fines and jail,” said Pete𓄧 Donohue, a spokesman for transit workers union TWU Local 100, which is🐼 backing the bill.

“The only difference is you are not cuffed like a thug and treated like a thug for an u🦋nintentioꦉnal accident that doesn’t involve recklessness on the part of the driver.”

A mother whose son, Coope🌟r Stock, was killed in a crosswalk by a yellow cab in Manhattan was outraged ♐about the legislation, and said neither bus nor cab drivers should be exempt.

“It’s absolutely outrageous,” said Dana Lerner of the grou🐷p Families for Safe Streets, noting her disgust that the United Federation of Teachers backed the bill. “There is no reason anyone should be exempt.”

TWU Local 100 said t💯hey were criminalized under Vision Zero.

“The bill addresses ou𒊎r objection to bus operators being handcuffed at the scene of an accident and hauled away to a police holding cell like common criminals,” said TWU Local 100 in a statement, which added that the MTA needs to redraw routes that eliminate left turns at risky intersections.

“I🔯t also compl𒅌ies with the intent of the Vision Zero law.”
