This month’s Bicycle Times has an excellent article about how, and why, motorists who injure or kill cyclists are not being prosecuted. Unfortunately, societal attitudes can be more sympathetic to the perpetrator than the victim: “Few families would seek to send to prison the soccer dad whose moment of inattention caused the death of a child…”
The bottom line is, we need to raise the duty of care required of motorists, in looking out for cyclists and pedestrians.
