Again, the vehicle operating illegally (The cyclist) will be the one who is at fault. In the LEO's eyes, in the insurance carrier's eyes, and in the court's eyes; in most jurisdictions.

We have rights and responsibilities on the roads, not just rights.
Did you even look at previous post to see how far that sidewalk is set back. There is no oncoming traffic, there were no concerns with road traffic if the motorist did not break the law by not stopping and yielding at the sidewalk. The cyclist was not the only one that broke the law. If the cops decided to cite the cyclist, the cops should have also cited the motorist for the law he broke.

Why are you working so hard to blame the cyclist over the motorist, when they were both wrong?
