Another day, another hit-and-run.
The incident took place in Jefferson County, where on Friday, September 22, a pickup truck driven by a 60-year-old man struck the cyclist, as reported by the Florida Highway Patrol.
Law enforcement authorities managed to locate the driver, who had struck the cyclist, a short time later. Shockingly, the bike was impaled into the front grill area of the truck.

The driver was believed to be impaired… cyclist wasn’t doing anything but cycling.

Believe it or not, the reason they do that is because your cycling infrastructure is likely sorely lacking. There have been at least a few studies showing that places which have actual safe cycling infrastructure also have the fewest number of cyclists breaking rules (the number of motorists breaking rules is always high, regardless…).
In other words, there’s no reason for a cyclist to even break rules if they have safe, planned infrastructure. Most of the “rule breaking” is actually to preserve safety. Only a few are jackasses. LOL
Fuck cars that don’t obey the law, and almost all of them are speeding.
A cyclist breaking the law is an inconvenience and maybe an injury. A car breaking the law will ruin lives.
