We'll see if it has any effect other than to produce tombstone reactions.
Given that a number of studies have shown that bicycles are at fault
in a substantial percentage of bicycle-auto collisions, more than half
in one study, and in at least two reports autopsies showed that as
many as 25% of cyclist deaths had excessive BAC, will these new
aggressive penalties apply to cyclists? Or solely to autos?
