I am honored Sir.

Right, which in part explains the high rates. So fight the fraud - I totally support those measures - but don't restrict the valid claims of people who are injured. Instead, reduce the number of claims & security of injuries. Then everyone wins.

We know exactly what to do to reduce crashes, save lives and reduce claims, but the corporate money doesn't care about safe streets or addressing the real causes of our high insurance. It's unfortunate to see the Governor buy into that false narrative

Instead of making it harder to be compensated when you are hurt by a negligent driver we should be implementing Sammy's Law & Universal Daylighting. We should be redesigning streets and providing folks with safer alternatives to car use. And we should incentivize smaller cars.

"The focus should be on reducing crash frequency and injury severity," said Peter Beadle, a personal injury lawyer in Queens who believes street redesigns and lower speed limits would do more to reduce auto insurance costs. "This is about saving insurance companies money," he said.

The Governor is right to want to crack down on fraud & staged crashes, but the other proposals shift the cost of lowering premiums on to the backs of victims and that is fundamentally unfair. Instead we should be reducing crashes & injuries by making streets safer 🧵

Exactly right. Also there are multiple factors that go into premiums, including fraud (I support measures to fight that), theft and property claims. So this is a completely disingenuous argument being made with the map

This particular jab always makes me wonder if people think through their arguments. If we make streets safer and reduce the number of crashes and severity of injuries I, Adam and other attorneys will have *fewer* clients. And that's ok.

Slowing Down Cyclists in Central Park | The Brian Lehrer Show | WNYC There will be a 15 mile-per-hour speed limit for all vehicles on Central Park Drive, including bikes and e-bikes. How the city will it, plus an argument against the rule change.

Catch @sophlebo.bsky.social and Neile Weissman break down the Central Park 15mph speed limit.

Today I filed an action to prevent NYC from fulfilling Eric Adam's last ditch attack on cycling in the city by using a law made to make our streets safer from motor vehicles against #bikenyc. Meanwhile the City does very little to implement the true intent of Sammy's Law, which must be corrected.

❄️ During Code Blue, teams will canvass all five boroughs to connect our most vulnerable New Yorkers to shelters. No one who is homeless and seeking shelter in New York City during a Code Blue will be denied.

If we were talking about simply showing a photo ID it would be one thing - and even then states require a signature check and voter fraud is extremely low - but the SAVE Act goes way beyond that

We're not talking mere proof of identity. The SAVE Act requires you show up with a passport or birth certificate too. Millions of people don't have those. And if you married and changed your name, your birth certificate won't match your photo ID and you can't vote.

'Everyone's At Fault': Mamdani and City Council Point Fingers Over Lowering Speed Limits - Streetsblog New York City The mayor and the City Council are using the "art of deflection" to keep the status quo instead of lowering the speed limit to a safer 20 miles per hour.

Stop the finger pointing, stop scapegoating people riding #bikenyc and reduce the speed limit for motor vehicles that every year kill hundreds and seriously injure thousands of New Yorkers.
nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/12/e...

Screenshot from Streetsblog article: But that's no excuse for doing nothing, said another advocate. "Everybody's at fault. Blame everybody," said Peter Beadle, a lawyer who represents cyclists who are victims of car crashes. "It's amazing [that neither the Council nor the mayor has acted] because we have been given a tool that would save lives, have all these external benefits and we are not doing it. It's the art of deflection."

It is a perversion of Sammy's Law to use it more to punish #bikenyc in Central Park than to lower speed limits on motor vehicles throughout the City - which is the real purpose of the law in order to save lives. Disgraceful that the City has failed to properly implement the law.
