Which, do you suppose, is illegal?

to improve their chances on the road, they would have. Given their limited options, I'm sure these kids were doing the only thing that they believed could improve their circumstances. I would not be surprised to learn that they were working to get money for college. While the drunk driver probably never had these concerns to deal with in his life.

It doesn't change the fact that riding on roads designed exclusively for 2 ton cars is dangerous.

A saint on his way to save burning orphans is in just as much danger as a murderer on his way to kill.

They're intentionally designed for cars, trucks, buses, slower moving vehicles, and pedestrians. They're also designed in some places for train crossings.

What's he supposed to do? Fly his helicopter to work?

I don't know what your issue is but you picked one HELL of a tasteless time and place to make your argument.

for making their kids ride bikes to work instead of driving cars like smart parents would?

These days people are forced to use what transportation they can afford. Thanks to the 1%ers that's increasingly walking until you can save for a bike, until you can save for a scooter, until you can save for a motorcycle, until you can save for a car. Assuming you survive the mercedes set that long.

Overview of Florida Laws for Cyclists

In Florida the bicycle is legally defined as a vehicle and the bicyclist is a driver. Bicyclists have the same rights to the roadways, and must obey the same traffic laws as the drivers of other vehicles. These laws include stopping for stop signs and red lights, riding with the flow of traffic, using lights at night, yielding the right-of-way when entering a roadway and yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks. -

As stated before, all the talk of how drivers should drive safely and should drive sober and should do a lot of other things doesn't reduce the brain damage in the guy one bit.

It's dangerous out there. Statement of fact...

pizza?

Apparently that is not the case where you are from... safely ensconced behind your keyboard.

...for accommodating them. Public roads are not "meant for cars."

as very nice kids, always together

what a shame

If he was drunk: His fault
Not drunk and he hit them: His fault. Any driver who over-drives their headlights is a menace to us all and I would put him away for 20 years.

A lot of you Americans drive like fools and it's not all your fault. Your driving tests are made for Morons.
I mean, you don't even know what the lines at a stoplight mean. Geezz...

I don't think people care.

I watch people roll into intersections all the time, and cringe that they'll hit somebody in the crosswalk, or a bike, or a wheelchair or something.

And let's not be too hasty dumping on just Americans. I have two and a half words... Russian Dash-Cam.

Yes..I've seen the Russians drive or should I say "I've seen the Russians aim"

answers the two questions I had. Poor things.

I thought it might be a son or daughter of the owner of the car who was driving that night. So sad.
