Reply #69: This area has HUGE bike lanes

Close to as wide as the car lane. There is NO excuse for this. So yeah, he deserves to "rot in jail" for at least 15 years. I am so tired of drivers in this country screwing around while they drive -- talking on phones, etc. Fiddling with his glove box??? PULL OVER. Geez -- I have several people a day almost hit my car because of stupid stuff like this. Totally inexcusable. Just because it wasn't malicious doesn't excuse it one bit.

And, I have found that most people who are REAL cyclists, especially those who commute daily, have better driving manners than many people in cars. They are also VERY aware of what's going on.

Alot of blame directed towards the man who was killed....
