He just made a judgement call that turned bad on himself. If his death
serves a purpose it is that bad driving can cause harm to others..

That is a one-sided view: his death could be used to suggest also that
bad cycling can harm bad cyclists.

Intelligent readers will note the use of the conditional in the previous
sentence. I am /not/ suggesting that the late cyclist was a bad one as I
haven't seen enough of the evidence to explain why he is claimed to have
run a red light.

Cheers,
