If the motorist had struck a slow moving tractor or construction vehicle would the police still have charged the driver of the other vehicle? Probably not, right. I can only assume the motorist would have received a ticket for "performing an unsafe pass" or similar infraction - but hey, in this case it was just an unprotected person on a silly two wheeled toy so, clearly, the cyclist's fault.
It's really hard to fathom the logic in issuing the ticket to the cyclist. Furthermore, you would have to assume that this road, however narrow, if designated as a two lane road there should have been enough room for the passing vehicle to enter the oncoming lane and safely pass the cyclist (presumably in the middle of the lane) without hitting them. Is it too much to ask that drivers actually be able to, oh I don't know, drive safely?
