Just because your in the right, doesn't make you right.
Many states do not allow you to ride side by side on a road like that. Cyclists are restricted to only 3 feet left of the white line.
IMO. They should have rode single file to allow cars to pass, then when clear ride tandem again. The driver should have also provided more room. It looks like he was pissed and trying to show the rider that he was, just got a bit too close
We've had our share of issues on the back roads/small highways with large groups of cyclists...
Discretion is the better part of valor comes to mind......... For ALL parties involved.........
I hear that, but come on... stop when you hit another living person!Quote:

That's a tough one. I'd be interested to know more about the hitter. Just guessing he/she is a challenged driver. I've seen people have a hell of a time going around a 18 wheeler when then had a full blown lane to make the move. So I'm guessing they are challenged in some way.
But that doesn't excuse them from leaving the scene. Innocence is lost when you flee. Bad move on many levels.

So they got caught after they ran you over?Quote:
