Not that I'm defending the woman who hit the cyclist or anything, but a small part of me wonders if SHE might have been startled by hitting him?
Still, her actions are SICK and TOTALLY inexcuseable.

RIght... we were hit once by a lady who went around a corner too fast and we were just standing off the road holding our bikes and talking - she took out my friend's back wheel, swerved across the street and took outa mailbox before managing to stop another hundred yards down the road.
Her first comments were all about us being out in the road and what have you... but she was as scared and freaked out as we were, and got more sane after a bit.
But... *never* did she say anything like "that will teach you..." I'd be tempted to say, "and if an 18-wheeler smears you across the highway and leaves a grease spot, will you be sorry for trying to be a truck?"
