Chicago DUI attorney thinks the Gov. has opened a can of worms with a vague new law to protect cyclists

This Chicago DUI attorney has posted here and here about cycling.  Today, the Governor has opened a can of worms by signing a particularly vague piece of legislation to protect cyclists from motorists.  Can you see the problem?

SB2951:

 Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that a person commits crowding or threatening a bicyclist when a person driving a motor vehicle recklessly drives the motor vehicle unnecessarily close to, toward, or near a bicyclist. Provides that every person convicted of crowding or threatening a bicyclist shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor if the violation does not result in great bodily harm or permanent disability or disfigurement to another. Provides that if a crowding or threatening a bicyclist violation results in great bodily harm or permanent disability or disfigurement to another, the person shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony. Provides that a person commits Projecting or throwing missiles at bicyclists, a Class A misdemeanor, when a person projects or throws any missile (defined as any object or substance) at or against a bicyclist. Effective immediately.

 So it will be a Class A misdemeanor when there isn’t great bodily harm to the cyclist.    In Illinois, that's the same maximum penalty as a DUI, up to 364 days in the county jail and/or fines up to $2500.  Do you think they are about to ban bike messengers from business districts during rush hour?
