Screening of Draft MD Police Bike Safety Training Video
From MoBike: Folks,
Here is the substance of the meeting announcement, which is hard to find in all the nested forwards (and not everyone can read the docx attachment).
Noteworthy statement in the announcement:
"Please note that at this point only minor changes...can be made at this time".
That means we will have to shout very loudly to change a video that I fear will propagate misunderstandings held by many police officers (for example, <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ya8rdfw">http://tinyurl.com/ya8rdfw</a>; ). And you wonder why they won't post it on the internet.
Announcement follows.

Maryland Department of Transportation Announcement:
Screening of Draft Maryland Law Enforcement Bicycle Traffic Safety Training Video
Date/Location:
Tuesday, November 1, 2011
4:30 to 6:30 PM
Maryland Department of Transportation
Harry Hughes Suite 1-Ground Floor
7201 Corporate Center Drive
Hanover, MD 21076
The Maryland State Police and the Maryland Department of Transportation have developed a draft training video intended for Maryland law enforcement personnel so they can provide improved traffic enforcement and crash investigation services affecting bicyclists. The training video has been funded through a grant from the Maryland Highway Safety Office.
The draft training video is approximately 30 minutes in length. The purpose of this screening is to provide an opportunity for members of the public, under the auspices of the Commuting and Transportation Subcommittee of the Maryland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, to view and comment on the quality of the draft video.
Please note that at this point only minor changes ensuring the accuracy of the information being portrayed can be made at this time given our remaining budget balance for this training video.
Please RSVP if planning to attend at mjackson3@mdot.state.md.us or 410-865-1237.
