Thread drift...
I'm one of those for outlawing use of cell phones while driving, including hands free. You should be DRIVING. I find it interesting one of the biggest lobby groups fighting ban are cell phone companies. Until they rig my car to have a totaly hands free cell phone where I just talk to the air, I'm going to have to look at something to use the dang thing, which means I'm not looking at the road.

Drifting back....
I hope the cyclists recover, the idiot driver has the book thrown at him, and his assests are sufficient to cover all their costs - medical and bikes.
