Hate to read about stuff like this, wish no one had to suffer through it.

We had a case a year or so ago where a woman drove though a group of cyclists on an annual organized ride. The driver veered over to the wrong side of the road. It later turned out that her license had been revoked, she was delivering drugs or something, and wasn't totally sober. There are idiots everywhere.

I worry during every commute. I was almost hit this morning going through a supermarket parking lot. Woman was looking where she wanted to go, not where she was going, turned left as I was going past. I yelled and veered and she hit the brakes. Probably thought "I didn't see you!" (Well, of course you didn't. But you should have.)

I do hope those folks recover quickly. It gets harder when you are more, shall we say, mature.
