It (The bill)

was introduced by Republican Justin Burr and “provides that a person driving an automobile while exercising due care is immune for civil liability for any injury to another if the injured person was participating in a demonstration or protest and blocking traffic.”
“As we’ve seen, time and time again, as folks run out in the middle of the streets and the interstates in Charlotte and attempt to block traffic,” Burr said. The Republican commented that he wants to ensure that “drivers don’t have to fear driving through Charlotte or anywhere in North Carolina.”
“This bill does not allow for the driver of a vehicle to target protesters intentionally,” he added. “It does protect individuals who are rightfully trying to drive down the road.”

Interesting.....For a long time it has been the policy, (not necessarily the law),in my State that a pedestrian has the right of way at all times..even if jay walking.. :o :o

Still is. That other crap is just temporary bs.

A driver is expected to take measure to avoid hitting pedistrians but if "they" run out in front of your car and you can't stop and hit them, to bad so sad. The law also provides protections if rioters surround your car and you're in danger, you can drive on through them to escape bodily harm. I like it.

I agree with that.
