It is unfortunately the case that when a bicyclist gets killed by a car, the driver does not suffer the same consequences as if the driver shot, poisoned, or bludgeoned the bicyclist. Bicyclists can and do behave more unsafely, can and do break traffic laws. When I bike, if I’m doing something not in full compliance with the laws, I do not expect the full sympathy of the legal system. I don’t roll a stop sign if there are cars at it, because I don’t want to get hit. Bicyclists acting like dicks or acting unsafely, may have themselves to blame. That’s not what this article is about, though.
