Bike Cop Doored In JP
Written by Boston Biker on Sep 27
Two Boston Police officers on bikes collided in Jamaica Plain after one crashed into an open car door on Centre Street.
The crash happened at around 12:30 p.m. when the first officer hit the door. The other officer, riding behind him, crashed into the first officer.
Both suffered minor injuries.
I wonder if this means they will start a better appreciation among the cops for this sort of danger, and encourage them to ticket motorists more for this behavior. To add insult to injury got him right on a sharrow…pay attention motorists!
PS. It is illegal in MA to open your door if ANY traffic is approaching (car/pedestrian/cyclist). You can be given a ticket right there on the spot…if the cop chooses to.
