Take the lane. Any lane. Or both of them.

Had he been on the right side of the road the car would most likely have missed him. The first time I watched the videos I thought it was a one-way street but then in one of the videos I saw a car going the opposite direction of the mini-cooper. Cheers |

Looks like they were both riding in the middle of the road. No lane markings. I would have been to the right I think but it's hard to know what the circumstances were from this video. Maybe the cyclist had a reason for avoiding the right side though I didn't see any cars or anything. |

Maybe the cyclist had a reason for avoiding the right side though I didn't see any cars or anything. IIRC, in the video at the top of the page (that video is no longer visible for me) near the end of that video you saw a car going in the opposite direction of the mini-cooper. Another thing I think I see in the video still up is that the bicyclist actually stopped before the car hit him. Again if the bicyclist had swerved whilst sprinting he may have avoided being hit. None of these are intended to remove blame from the driver for not stopping.. Perhaps the driver didn't stop because they needed time for alcohol or drugs to leave their system? Cheers |

Cheers My thought was that maybe the driver was in the Center of the road for the same reason that the cyclist was. Hard to say for our arm chairs. |

My suggestion regarding hit-and-run drivers is that leaving the scene of a crash should be legally regarded as proof of intent.

It's a felony in Oregon and often charged as a fall-back or along with an assault crime. https://www.oregonlaws.org/ors/811.705 -- Jay Beattie |
