Council Member Carmen De La Rosa's proposal to cut cab drivers' required insurance from $200,000 to $50,000 shifts the burden of costs from drivers to victims.
Lawyer Victoria Wickman expressed concerns, stating that reducing insurance would be 'really devastating to a pedestrian who gets struck by a car', emphasizing the risks to victims.
Bruce Schaller highlighted that 'it's a bad idea exactly because pedestrians need higher coverage', noting that many aren't insured themselves to cover costs.
Experts argue that the initial increase in coverage to $200,000 in 1998 was essential for ensuring safety and protecting vulnerable road users.
