Its not just US juries that are reluctant to hold motorists culpable ...

Ugh not motor cyclists, drivers! Can't you edit a title?

From the UK Jury fails to reach verdict on whether Ayasha Penfold killed cyclist John Durey through dangerous driving in Kingsnorth

For those of you who don't have the time to read it.

1) She overtakes two vehicles at once and hits a cyclist going in the opposite direction head on.
2) Road is open and flat and she should have seen him.
3) Initally said she braked but then changed her story to say the lorry/truck she overtook made her hit him!

Hung jury if she drove recklessly? WTH. Either the cyclist is a vehicle or they aren't. Since they are in most places they should have the same level of expectation to be seen and drivers shouldn't be able to use the old "I didn't see him that's why I killed him" line.
