Bicyclist harassment outlawed by Los Angeles City Council
"The ordinance, which backers described as the toughest of its kind in the nation, makes it a crime for drivers to threaten cyclists verbally or physically, and allows victims of harassment to sue in civil court without waiting for the city to press criminal charges."

Not sure how effective this will be.

IANAL, so I assume this means that without this law, a cyclist (or, a pedestrian, right?) can't sue a driver in civil court if the city doesn't pursue a criminal case? Does this only apply to cyclists? What if a pedestrian is verbally assaulted by a driver?
