So we've made progress. We used to blame the victim. But it would be very hard to blame a pedestrian who was on the sidewalk at the time, so we had to get creative. Now we could blame the particular cyclist who supposedly precipitated the incident by making the cabby crazy, but that would mean having to look too closely it the particulars, so we blame everybody that had nothing at all to do with it.
Actually I'd support the measure, if it were financed by the city issuing 4,000 new taxi medallions so there would be enough cabs to pick up the possible increase in ridership.
