[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^Are you defending the bicyclists?

Why?

I'm going to assume you're a guy.  What if this happened to your wife?  What if she didn't have time to react and crashed head-on with the other vehicle?

Would you still defend the bicyclists?

I'm trying to understand why someone is blaming cyclists when a driver clearly was going too fast and opted to go into the opposite travel lane and run someone off the road.  That's ridiculous - the cyclists are at most an unexpected impediment, like another slow driver, a deer, or a mattress.  The driver who crossed the road is at fault in this situation.  If my wife crashed into the driver who crossed the yellow line I would blame that other driver.

I'm sorry you got run off the road, but blame the driver who was in the wrong, not the cyclists.[/quote]

Exactly.  And my takeaway from the no-doubt terrifying situation this PP endured is to remind myself how important it is to be-extra vigilant when driving (or cycling, if I were a cyclist) around a blind curve.

It sounds like the cyclists in that accident situation were jerks, but that in no way shifts the [/quote]
