[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2906910, member: 15253"] Two friends of mine killed while cycling in the last seven years. Both times by inattentive drivers. One used her family's connections to a small town DA to get off with a $99.00 ticket. The man she killed did two combat tours in Iraq and was an active duty Captain in the US army at the time of his death. He left behind a wife and a baby girl. People who knew the woman said she should have never been allowed to drive. Her family's political connections allowed her to get her driver's license. The second incident involved a 90 year old man. His wife had been concerned about his driving in the months leading up to the incident, saying that she was, "afraid he was going to hit something." The someone he hit and killed with his one ton Ford truck was a 53 year old woman who had just learned that she had qualified for the Boston Marathon. She was on her way to have dinner with her husband to celebrate her achievement when she was run down from behind by a 90 year old man who never saw her. He ultimately faced no charges. She left behind a husband and an adult daughter. Now, tell me about the motorists that have been hurt by bicyclists. [/QUOTE]
