Still don't know why they mentioned he wasn't wearing a helmet. Helmets are for protecting your head against falls, they don't do didly squat against SUV's.
Hmmmm..IS it AM or PM? Yikes. Both the post and link say PM; and I assumed a lady would not be pulled over for DUI that early in the day! Heavens.
Referring to the helmet is absolutely relevant. We need to weigh the woman's "concern for safety" (or lack thereof) with the cyclists "concern for safety" (or lack thereof). Accidents happen, and any intelligent party would take reasonable precautions against it. Assuming the time is
11:30 PM, the fact the guy had no reflector, reflective clothing, or a helmet is just beyond the pale.
