The San Antonio motorist was not charged who who hit and dragged the Bruehler's to their deaths as they rode their tandem in a bike lane in San Antonio.
Any of you anti-cyclist, crazed-motorist-apologists on this thread want to tell Kylie that her parents had it coming?
That’s right. The motorists should sit down, take a stress pill, and think things over. I honestly mean this! I can understand how people might feel frustrated and angry being stuck behind bicyclists on the road. I don’t understand how they can reinforce and incorporate this feeling into their philosophy of life. C’mon, Kumbaya, people. Oops, I know, red flag.
That part of Bandera Road is not safe. Too many crazy people with big SUV’s/Pickups, and they aren’t paying attention.
Cyclist that do not follow the rules of the road put themselves and every one else in danger. In Maryland around Bethesda, they put themselves others in danger all the time.
The driver in that case was not crimially charged because (to quote the officer):
“Deputy Chief Bennett told News 4 WOAI the office’s hands are tied. He said under current law, unless a driver is drunk or high, it is difficult to prove recklessness. And legally, charges can not be filed for “an unfortunate accident.””
In particular, it looked like there was a nasty and unexpected curve in the road.
He’s obviously civilly liable, but there is no reason to charge him criminally.
