This is not 100% the fault of the driver. The cyclist was ****ed up.
One would have thought that a cyclist/road user would have been more
careful?
In a past life I've owned taxis and many a time I've had to shout "DON'T
OPEN THE DOOR"!!!!!!!
So when a cyclist is riding past a parked car and the driver opens his door and kills the cyclist, it is the passing cyclist's fault to riding too close?
However, a drunken cyclist is killed as he exits a taxi without looking and now it is the car's occupant that is to blame for not looking.
If he rode his bike in the back of a car, what did he expect?
