Driver Held Accountable for Unsafe Passing

We blogged about Pennsylvania’s four-foot safe passing law that went into effect last Monday. Already the law is having an impact in Bethlehem, PA where an attempted hit and run collision was caught on tape. Thanks to the quick thinking of city bus driver Richard Gubish, Jr. and another motorist, the offender was blocked from leaving the scene. Police arrested and charged the driver with multiple offenses, including violating Pennsylvania’s safe passing law.

Hat tip to the Bethlehem Police Department for posting this video and press release.
