Reply to comment by kulgan in Bicyclist involved in Jersey City hit-and-run by Councilwoman DeGise files $1M tort claim by EyesOnImprovement

You can watch the video it's not 3 seconds, regardless in NYC(the nearest I can find actual stats for) less than a third of drivers in fatal accidents with cyclists/pedestrians are even charged let alone convicted of anything. Our society has decided the privileges of incompetent drivers supercede the lives of pedestrians and cyclists. I seriously doubt the cyclist will convince a jury to award him anything.

I hop on the light rail (I live 3 blocks from the LSP stop) and ride to ShopRite or the Whole Foods in Weehawken. I tend to go to the ShopRite in Hoboken (9th st stop) because the one in Jersey City (Harsimis Cove stop) is pretty miserable and the Hoboken staff are much nicer and helpful. I'm also just shopping for one person, so I'm not carrying much. I also like to pick up random things I need from The Grind General Store on Suydam and Communipaw. I was able to throw together a last-minute dinner for four people for less than $50. Pasta, sauce, cheese, saussage, mushrooms, broccolini, onions, tomatoes, and garlic all purchased there.

Thanks to some supporters of Andrew Black the public is now given a tiny few seconds clip of the accident video; its now in a loop that fails to show important facts of the accident which show it was entirely Andrew's fault.

Andrew, as shown in original videos, starts behind the car that stops for the red light. Andrew clearly crosses the solid line and is in the wrong lane of a two way street when he passes the car stopping for a red light. He quickly passes the car and swerves to the right crossing back to the right side of the solid line, but keeps looking slightly left. He almost passes Amy's car, that's how fast he went through the red light. He was lucky to have cleared most of the car when contact was made by his moving towards Amy's car while looking away.

Jersey City needs to view all entire videos available and object to Reddit's support of an edited version that fails to show Andrew is fully responsible for the accident. Police should have issued tickets for Andrew's traffic violations and reprimanded him for lying about the red light. Reddit lawyers should check JC header now for legal liability.

Amy did leave the scene of the accident but she was the innocent victim of the accident caused entirely by Andrew Black. Andrew now wants to milk the legal system. If he wins, there will be many copy cats. Local jurisdictions have to promote the importance of stop signs and red lights, its the right thing to do!

Accident and what happened afterwards are different events.

Research into frame by frame videos and the scene of the accident can be done but Andrew Black knows he was wrong.
