A garbage truck driver hit Meredith Wilkinson on her bike in Toronto in 2017. She lost her right leg as a result. The driver was charged with careless driving at the scene, but the case couldn’t proceed because of a clerical error.

You know, if we fined careless drivers 5x what the cost of enforcing and prosecuting careless drivers is, then public safety would be dramatically improved.

The fact that most drivers will likely get away with dangerous driving just reinforces this behaviour.

But Toronto sure as shit has the resources to fine cyclists for trying to be safe by using the head start signal at intersections… /s
