Why even mention it? It's not a hot take.

Trust me, it gets mentioned every time. No one is defending the cyclist, the hit is understandable. We're pissed about the run.

No. The law is pretty clear. Someone else’s moving violation doesn’t indemnify you.

She still had an obligation to not impact the bike by operating the vehicle in a way she could stop in time. Which by the way is a question on the written exam or used to be 15 or so years ago.

So she’s in the wrong for hitting him. She’s also wrong for leaving the scene.

Right, and I'm happy the law does its best to protect the most people. But we, as human beings, can understand context. I can't say for sure that I would have been able to avoid hitting him. I can say that I would not have left the scene.

Where were you looking? There’s atleast one idiot on every Amy thread who thinks they are blowing minds with this fresh perspective.

YEAH! Why is it always about what I did and trying to hold me accountable as an elected official who rammed into a constituent and decided to drive away without checking that he was OK and never about how the constituent running the red light?
