Apparently, the simple fact that he was in a car - something I'm sure the OP has never ever been guilty of or ever will be guilty of. It's uses such as that of the term "cager" that re-enforce in my mind just how ridiculous the use of that pathetic little term really is by those who use it.

Back on-topic though, that really is too bad about the cyclists. I hope they all recover and the driver has the book thrown at him in court - should it ever come to that.
