@jeichelberg87, I don't understand the point you are trying to make. I don't think any laws need to change. You're the one who said we need harsher penalties for truck drivers who run over cyclists. That would require a change to the laws as far as I can tell. I also don't think harsher penalties will prevent careless driving. All the research I have seen suggests that harsher penalties have little or no impact on crime prevention. The best way to prevent these types of accidents is for the cyclists to avoid putting themselves in dangerous positions in the first place. I bet that woman didn't even know that a right hook is a thing, much less how to avoid it.
