I recall a local case where a cyclist was off of the road and off of the shoulder on a break. There is an ramp off of a four lane road onto this one. The driver came down the ramp, took the corner too fast. Plowed into the "cyclist" with fatal results. The guy was late for church. He did not even get a traffic citation. It was felt that he has "suffered enough". I guess he was contrite.

Heck, I was hit head on by a driver who decided to drive on the wrong side of the road before making a left hand turn into a parking lot. A ticket was written but he got off on a technicality. He was a traffic safety instructor.
