Is there a
definite measurement that can be used here or is it subjective? The "safely cleared" part I mean. What if the cyclist missed the collision by a few inches? Everything else being the same, do you think he could win a case against the guy for "safely cleared the vehicle" law if he had avoided a collision and police attention at the scene?
I guess we will find out if they publish the results of the video review. I hope someone posts that here if it goes public.
