Default Four Cyclists Killed in Wales

In article .com,

Agreed, the driver is not a paragon of good judgement. But the driver
is not dead. Four cyclists are.

The question for you, and for me, is... At what point do we decide that
being right is not the same as being safe?


At what point to we abrogate our very right to [use] the road,
essentially allowing ourselves to be bullied?

The notion of fairness or correctness has no place here.


I think it very much does.

There is no
remedy for being dead.


But there is (or should be) a price for killing.


All of the above by Tom Keats is spoken like a true dumb Canadian. Listen to
him and you will have a short life.

But cyclists like him do not have the brains they were born with. Here we
have an absolutely horrible story and all he can come up with is that it was
the driver's fault and so we should continue on as before. This kind of
extreme stupidity overwhelms me. His brains are located in his testicles
like the rest of his British Columbia tribe and if and when he is killed on
the road I will merely think that there is some justice in the world after
all.
