Perhaps she will learn from it and do something positive as a result.
My sympathy goes to the family, friends, and loved ones of the victim.
I came up with the perfect punishment for drivers who kill cyclists... make that driver ride a bike everywhere.
Honestly, I have to wonder if the cyclists had been riding 2 across, if the driver would have been more likely to see them. Then again, how do you miss seeing a cyclist on the road if you are watching the road?
I liked how some of those responders mention that the cyclists "hog the road and won't let cars around". Well you know what, those drivers SAW those cyclists and they are still alive to talk.
