CBC News
A 62-year-old motorist from Victoria who ran over a cyclist has lost his right to drive for a year after being found guilty of dangerous driving.
Robert Fayle was accused of deliberately swerving into Darwyn Rowland on a semi-rural road in Saanich a year and a half ago.
He was originally charged with assault with a weapon and dangerous driving, but the judge found him not guilty of assault.
Fayle was given an 18-month conditional sentence. ordered to perform 80 hours of community service and had his driver's licence suspended for a year.
The court was told that Fayle was arguing with two other cyclists just before the incident.
Rowland suffered a collapsed lung and ankle injury, and had to have shoulder surgery.
