(Not that it justifys the womans DUI, but sounds like the bike rider was also a primary contributor.)
I have to agree with that one. I was driving on MSU campus one evening and it was raining and as dark as the inside of a cow. I looked up ahead and saw these little lights going up and down just a bit ahead of me. I slowed even more, I was going about 20 mph at the time. It was some #$%& fool cyclist who had stripped all the reflectors off of his bike and was wearing black clothes to boot. What gave him away are those tiny reflectors that they used to stick on the back of rat trap peddles. If you want to go out and get yourself killed, that is fine by me, but I just want to be left out of it .
