It's about a protestor standing in the middle of the road, you don't see them, and hit them. Same thing as a child playing in the road, you don't see them, and hit them. How is one misleading and the other isn't?

The title implies that the bill gives the all clear for drivers to compete for the highest score. All this does is remove any liability if a non-negligent driver hurts someone attempting to get their car out of the illegal thicket.
To illustrate, it's more like this and not like this.

I don't think the 2nd driver should be charged either. They didnt swerve to plow into anyone.

If you legitimately thought they made it legal for you to go out and run over whoever you want, you are a complete idiot - and I will not dumb down my titles for your lack of intelligence. Don't be so gullible. Don't read headlines. Read articles. Put your brain to work.

These are not children playing in the street being hit by a car. These are idiots putting themselves in danger deliberately and then attempting to sue because they're fucking stupid. And you shouldn't be allowed to do it because it's fucking scummy.

I agree. I initially misread your comment, thinking that you were comparing protestors blocking streets to kids playing in the street. I would still disagree that it's misleading as anyone with common sense would know no state is going to make it legal to knowingly run people over. However, if you don't see them, then it is legal.
