On this forum and others we have outlandish reports of cyclist being run over on the shoulder, and even on sidewalks. Then the drivers ge a slap on the wrist. These cases are NO accident they are a case of irresponsible murder with an auto.

The biggest excuse I have read here so far is the fact that cars are everwhere. Big deal. It remains that almost everwhere bikes are afforded all the rights to the road as a car, and I believe that there are actually more bikes in the country than cars.

Lastly IMO anyone that drunk drives and kills someone should be jailed for at least 25 years WITHOUT the posibility of parole. No judge, jury, or whining defense att should be able to get the killer out of the 25 years.
