Increased penalties for careless and reckless driving resulting in death or serious injury
We will advocate for the enactment of state and nationwide laws that impose stricter penalties for careless and reckless driving that results in death or serious injury for all vulnerable road users. Such changes could deter negligent and reckless behavior on the road. Driving is often described as a privilege, not a right. Yet drivers who kill vulnerable road users are rarely given penalties that amount to more than traffic tickets and fines.

While no consequence can ever bring Magnus back, accountability remains paramount. As parents, we emphasize the importance of accountability and consequences to our children. Magnus lived by these principles, and we must uphold them in his memory.

Immediate and quick improvements to vulnerable road user infrastructure
We recognize that substantial infrastructure changes for cyclists and other vulnerable road users can take years if not decades to complete. We’re fully supportive of those measures. However, municipalities and transportation departments already likely know where the potential hot spots are and can implement faster measures to enhance safety for vulnerable road users. We fully support and endorse the following measures and will use our voice to help make them happen:

• Speed cameras
• Reduced speed limits
• Rumble strips
• Double white lines
• Additional cycling signage
