I agree with Eden ! The fact remains that we all make decisions to drive all the time. The difference here is that most people would take responsibility for their actions, and not make excuses. While there may be a sleep apnea problem for this person, the end result is that he caused a very serious accident. What truly bothers me is that he was able to stay awake long enough to drive and call his mechanic about the damages !! And if he does indeed have this problem, how does he stay awake long enough to perform his job?

Regardless of what happens, each time we drive our vehicles we are responsible for our actions. Whether we are tired, talking on the phone, or any other excuse that we can come up with... the fact remains that we are responsible.

Perhaps the family of the cyclist will file a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver, and have some sort of legal action taken. Sounds familiar doesn't it?
