Re: Texting Driver Who Slammed Cyclist: I, Like, 'Just Don't Care'

She should of gotten a stiffer fine and some jail time not just a small fine and loss of license. She has a complete indifference. That poor victim, which she cared nothing about, now has to spend months recovering and who knows the effect on their lives. Sorry, this was barely a bump for her and she is sure to do it again. Honestly, I am surprised she stopped at all.

I have a question...

Did she hit the bicyclist or did the bicyclist hit the side of her car?

It seems obvious to me that the cyclist had to have hit her not she hit him as cars don't go sideways so how could she hit him with the side of her car ?

The same way you can side swipe another car. She got too close to him.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

How about she could have pulled out in front of the cyclist? Very possible...I have seen this happen.

She needs to spend some time in jail to reflect on just what she did.

What a callous heartless soul!....Scary that someone like this will eventually get her license back and be on the road again in the future.

According to WXIA, Atlanta, the following was reported by The Standard, an Australian newspaper.

"She hit the cyclist from behind, even though he had lights on the bike. She dialed triple-0 (Australian's equivalent of 911), but refused to help the cyclist while they waited for first responders."

So it seems like this witch tried to run him off the road, but he "ricocheted" into the side of her car? Am I processing this correctly?
