Ok....it getting clearer.
again....not defending bad behavior....the driver seems to be at fault in many areas,but getting to the gritty details
First
afaik....riding in a mass is not legal (imho it is bad press for bicylist, whether casual, races, or what) which could give a policeman more leeway to not charge a driver for hitting a cyclist.
Second the story seems to change.....before it was you threw a bikes in front of the SUV and the driver drove over them...this post says the driver drove into othere bicyclists. Which one was it?
This type of incosistency weakens you postion when discussing it with the powers that be.
