She may not have hit the
cyclist had she not been texting, but surely you cant ignore, completely,
the law breaking cyclist....had he stopped, as he
should, he's still alive.

She was doing 45mph in a 30mph limit, through a junction, whilst texting
on her phone. She should have been imprisoned regardless of whether or
not she'd actually had a collision. At the very least she should have
been banned from driving - for ever.

I'm certainly not going to defend the law-breaking cyclist, but this
woman was an accident waiting to happen. It happened.
