Just look at the speed that the RV was going! The driver was given a $500 ticket for almost killing 30 cyclists. Insane that they’re even allowed to drive after that.

    I absolutely think you should loose your license for being responsible for a crash.

    Maybe that means not many people should be driving. That would explain tens of thousands of Americans that die in car crashes each year.

    I think businesses would be fine now that we have a superior form of personal transportation: the ebike

      It all depends on the circumstances. Driving down the road, and glancing away for a minute and not seeing a bicycle driving on the road until a second before you hit them isn’t really negligent.

      That’s why it’s an accident. The driver was within the lines of the roadway, the bicycle wasn’t on the shoulder, and it looks like the driver did not see the bicycle.

      That’s called an accident. If you’re negligent for any reason, sure punish the driver. But this doesn’t look at all like that kind of situation here.

      I know this crowd is very pro bikes and doesn’t think cars should exist, but you guys are the extreme
