[QUOTE=genec;9825598]Driver was charged for the drugs, not the act.

Still hunting season on cyclists. No "bag limit" if you are driving a car.

Can anyone honestly find a case where a motorist was charged for killing a cyclist when no drugs or alcohol or even a cell phone was involved? Seems like there is always a "get out of jail card" for killing cyclists.

Here is a classic case... http://kcbike.info/2008/07/16/johnso...-gaunt-deaths/
just remember the defense: not moving over from the lane "was my normal driving style".[QUOTE]

A letter from the victim's wife pointed out that the court was unable to hear that, 2 weeks before the killing, the driver was caught doing 95 in a 60 zone.
