Grill guard sales in Tennessee about to go brrrr
From FOX4 News:
Tennessee bill would give immunity to drivers who unintentionally hit someone blocking roadway
A bill in Tennessee would make obstructing a highway a felony. It would also grant immunity to drivers who unintentionally injure or kill someone blocking a highway.
That would include protesters who illegally block roadways.
Under HB 513, if a driver “who is exercising due care” unintentionally injures or kills someone blocking a highway, the driver would be immune from prosecution for the injury or death.
Yes, it only applies to someone who “unintentionally injures or kills someone blocking a highway,” but have you ever driven a 1-ton Diesel truck hauling a 45-foot gooseneck? Those don’t exactly stop or turn on a dime. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of wiggle room on the definition of unintentional in certain parts of the state.
