[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 309717, member: 484"] In our country, we are suposedly a group of law abiding citizens. We conduct ourselves in accourdance with that theme. When someone breaks the law, does that make it alright for us to break it as well. No it does not. In the case of the cyclist and the UPS truck, the fact that the driver did not see the cyclist has no bearing on the issue. There was traffic approaching the intersection that should have been seen and reacted to. Pure and simple. And they had the right of way. Now, the fact that the cyclist was speeding, does that then remove his right to the right of way? No it does not. He has the right of way. Period. And the fact that we did not see him does not relieve the driver from that fact. Now, they did not charge him with that accident (the police) and that was well and good. But the fact remains that he was hit by a vehicle in an intersection that had the right of way through that intersection. and I would like to think that had he seen the cyclist, he would have given him that right of way. If not, that would be negligent homicide. d [/QUOTE]
