COMUNICADO DE PRENSA

INCIDENTE:	New Bicycle law, “Three Feet For Safety Act”
FECHA / HORA:	Septiembre 25, 2014
PERSONA DE CONTACTO & INFORMACIÓN DE CONTACTO:	Oficial superior Jamie Brown (805) 385-7749 jamie.brown @ oxnardpd.org

DETALLES: California’s new bicycle law, “Three Feet for Safety Act” took effect on September 16, 2014 as a result of Assembly Bill 1371. La “Three Feet for Safety Act” will require that drivers provide at least three feet between any part of their vehicle and bicyclist when passing.

“Three Feet for Safety Act” California Vehicle code sections:

21760 (un) VC“This section shall be known and may be cited as the Three Feet for Safety Act.”
21760 (b) VC “The driver of a motor vehicle overtaking and passing a bicycle that is proceeding in the same direction on a highway shall pass in compliance with the requirements of this article applicable to overtaking and passing a vehicle, and shall do so at a safe distance that does not interfere with the safe operation of the overtaken bicycle, having due regard for the size and speed of the motor vehicle and the bicycle, traffic conditions, weather, visibility, and the surface and width of the highway.”
21760 (c) VC “A driver of a motor vehicle shall not overtake or pass a bicycle proceeding in the same direction on a highway at a distance of less than three feet between any part of the motor vehicle and any part of the bicycle or its operator.”
21760 (d) VC “If the driver of a motor vehicle is unable to comply with subdivision (c), due to traffic or roadway conditions, the driver shall slow to a speed that is reasonable and prudent, and may pass only when doing so would not endanger the safety of the operator of the bicycle, taking into account the size and speed of the motor vehicle and bicycle, traffic conditions, weather, visibility, and surface and width of the highway.”
21760 (y)(1) VC “A violation of subdivision (b), (c), o (d) is an infraction punishable by a fine of thirty-five dollars ($35).”
21760 (y)(2) VC “If a collision occurs between a motor vehicle and a bicycle causing bodily injury to the operator of the bicycle, and the driver of the motor vehicle is found to be in violation of subdivision (b), (c), o (d), a two-hundred-twenty-dollar ($220) fine shall be imposed on that driver.”

State data show that 153 bicyclists were killed in California in 2012, un 7 por ciento de aumento de 2011. Those deaths accounted for 5 percent of the total collision fatalities in California. As important as it is for vehicles to be mindful of our bicyclists, those who ride must exercise safe practices and ride smart.
Here’s how the law works:

The law applies to any place a vehicle passes a bicyclist, regardless of whether there’s a bike lane in the road.
A law enforcement officer must witness a violation to issue a citation. Bystanders’ accounts or video recordings made by the bicyclist — on a GoPro, for example — aren’t admissible.
Violators face at least a $35 multa, y un $220 fine if a collision occurs. Both can increase when court fees are added.
There is one exception to the new law: If there’s not enough room for a driver to give three feet of space. In that case, they must first slow down before safely passing.

Preguntas más frecuentes:
Pregunta: Can I go into opposing lanes of traffic to pass a bicyclist if there is not three feet of space between us?
La- A driver must follow all rules of the road when driving on the roadway and when passing a bicyclist.

Pregunta: What do I do if the bicyclist is in my lane and there is no room to pass?
La- A driver must slow down and allow the bicyclist to move to the side and allow for the three feet of space before passing.

Pregunta: How do I know if there is three feet between my vehicle and the bicyclist?

La- One way to think about it is if a bicyclist can reach his/her arm out and touch your vehicle, your vehicle is probably closer than three feet.

Pregunta: What if I need to make a right turn and there is a bicyclist on the right side of me?

La- If you are not able to move in front of the bicyclist, allowing three feet of space between you and the bicyclist and/or interfering with the bicyclist, you must slow down and let the bicyclist move ahead of you until there space for you to move behind the bicyclist and prepare to make the right turn.

Motorists are reminded to pay close attention and exercise due caution when they see bicyclists on the roadway. Please move over or slow down to pass when you see a bicyclist on the road and help keep our roadways a safer place.

PERSONA DE CONTACTO & INFORMACIÓN DE CONTACTO:	Sr. Detective Dale McAlpine, Investigative Services Bureau (805) 385-3921, Dale.McAlpine@oxnardpd.org

DETALLES: En septiembre 2, 2014, Luis Contreras, an 18-year old Oxnard resident, was arrested after he allegedly gained entry into two residences in south Oxnard and sexually assaulted an 11-year old female who was sleeping in her bedroom along with her 6-year old brother.

Investigators from the Oxnard Police Department Family Protection Unit have been working since that time to determine whether Contreras was responsible for any additional hot prowl burglaries that have taken place in south Oxnard in the past year. After some excellent detective work, investigators were able to gather additional evidence linking Contreras to two additional burglaries in south Oxnard.

It is alleged that on March 18, 2014, a aprox. 3:25 a.m., Contreras entered a mobile home in the 2400 block of East Pleasant Valley Road via an open bedroom window. The screen to the window was cut to gain entrance. Once inside the bedroom, Contreras allegedly placed a rag over an eight-year old female’s mouth. The female woke up and began to scream for her parents. Contreras then fled out the opened bedroom window. La víctima no resultó herido.

In a similar incident on July 1, 2014, officers responded at approx. 2:45 a.m. to a report of a hot prowl burglary in progress in the 400 block of Dollie Street. In this incident, it is alleged that Contreras climbed through an open bedroom window and put his hand over the mouth of an 11-year old female who had been sleeping in her bedroom. The female was able to alert her father who chased Contreras from the residence.

En septiembre 18^ª, Contreras was arraigned in Ventura County Superior Court on the following charges:

Cuatro (4) counts of 459 P.C. Robo Residencial
Uno (1) count of 288(un) P.C. Lewd or Lascivious Act w/ a Child Under 14
Uno (1) count of 220(b) P.C. Burglary w/ Intent to Commit 288 P.C.

Contreras remains in custody at the Ventura County Jail. Su fianza se fijó en $300,000. His next scheduled court appearance is October 15^ª. The charges that Contreras faces carry with them a maximum sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole if convicted. Contreras will also be required to register as a sex offender if convicted.

The Oxnard Police Department wants to remind residents to exercise caution and continue to utilize the crime prevention tips we have been sharing throughout the year. These tips are part of our ongoing Operación segura y resistente initiative and can be found on our Department website, Facebook page, and on Nextdoor.com.

Lock all windows and doors at night when you leave your residence or vehicle unattended.
Close all of your windows-thieves can open vehicles and access homes through the smallest of openings.
Don’t forget to set your residential alarm if you have one.
To avoid obstruction, keep your landscaping trimmed.
The best crime prevention tool ever invented is a GOOD NEIGHBOR! One of the best crime fighting teams are neighbors working in conjunction with the police department, and reporting all suspicious activity.
Report any suspicious activity or persons to the Oxnard Police Department at (805) 385-7740.

Investigators from the Family Protection Unit are still investigating these cases as well as similar incidents that have occurred in south Oxnard in the past 12 mes. We believe it is still possible that there may have been additional incidents such as these that have gone unreported by potential victims. We want to encourage anyone that has information about these incidents or any related incidents to call the Oxnard Police at (805) 385-3921. Si desea permanecer en el anonimato puede llamar a la línea directa de crímenes violentos en (805) 982-7070 o Ventura County Crime Stoppers al (800) 222-8477.
