Another driver hits cyclist and drives around with bike still under vehicle

Actually, the Lexus ES300 is a mid-sized sedan.
Which makes it all the more bizarre that she would think a body falling on the windshield was a rotting branch!
Where the heck were her eyes????

I meant it's far from a Lexus in terms of any sort of sound-proofing (I'm thinking these 2 stories aren't really selling that feature for the luxury car manufacturers, anymore). But, yeah, the whole thing is so bizarre. Perhaps her eyes were looking at a cell phone screen.

Ohhh...you were talking about the Escalade of the woman who hit Pettigrew.
My mis-read about "other".....

It all comes down to getting alcoholics off of the road. And admitting that we have a huge problem with substance abuse in this country. These people need to get help, but we need a better way to keep them off of the road. I don't have the answer, but there's more and more in the news bout repeat DUI offenders driving around, with no license. One just rammed into the back of the woman who is the commander of the MA state police.
And i get nervous just making a trip to the store without my license in my bag.

I once drove home (no more than three miles) after a long, hot bike ride, having left my license (and my wallet) in another jersey. I was nervous the whole time.

The problem is that there's no way to get them off the road until they cause an accident. Ohio has (had?) the "scarlet letter" plates for repeat DUIs--yellow with red letters that has "DUI" in place of the county. Great. Doesn't help if they run someone over.
