Comments on: Could flagrant flinging be outlawed? http://milwaukeerising.net/wordpress/2009/03/17/could-flagrant-flinging-be-outlawed/ Based on the city's west side; covering Milwaukee and beyond.

On the other hand, I've never heard of anyone being doored on a State highway. Unless that's a typo, non-motorized vechicles arn't allowed on the highway. Why would they write the law like that if the intent was to decress Dooring? Also, why is there a range for the fines, is it more for multiple offenses, or for blantant infliction? People are ignorant and unaware, I would rather see a Education campaign than unnecesary new laws.

Anyway, many urban cyclists are sufficiently aware of this risk that they keep an eye on a row of parked cars and look for cars that are occupied in order to move to the left to avoid being doored. Yes, this is a common enough incident that it even has a name. Larry who rides regularly I thought that this was already illegal!
