at least the bicyclist is not being charged
the bicyclist needs to be seen as part of the equation
cell phones need to be removed from the equation
and full stops at the stop line need to be added
those things would blend in to making so many things better
people need to take it out of auto pilot
He got lucky. Thank goodness he wasn't killed, and thank goodness their charging the driver and not blaming the bike in the road. So about those share the road signs?
