Hopefully, you have notified your state senator about supporting SB 5838. I received a response from Senator Chris Marr today.
Dear Mr. Greer,
Thank you for writing in to me about SB 5838, concerning traffic infractions where the conduct is a proximate cause of death, great bodily harm, or substantial bodily injury. I support the bill and was responsible for obtaining a hearing for it last year. I believe that we should take any steps we can to make our roads safer. This bill is a step on that path, and I will give it my support if it comes before the full Senate.
To make tracking the progress of this bill easier, we created the following link: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?year=2009&bill=5838 (Unfortunately, the tinyurl link he sent was broken so I'm substituting the correct link.)

Whether one agrees or disagrees with Chris Marr's political positions, I have long admired his work ethic, his tenacity, his policy and issue geekiness and his willness to engage with and respond to his constituency.
I email him and other legislators often and I always, I mean always receive a personal response from him.
Plus, of course, he is an accomplished marathoner.
