Just look at the speed that the RV was going! The driver was given a $500 ticket for almost killing 30 cyclists. Insane that they’re even allowed to drive after that.

I don’t get how people drive while apparently looking only so far down the road as their hood ornament. There was nobody coming towards him in the opposite lane, to pull over and give that group a large berth was the easiest thing in the world. Even driving a pickup, I feel bad passing a cyclist at highway speeds for the bow wave of wind the truck will make, because I’ve been in his shoes trying to keep a bike straight when a truck goes by.
Poor bastard got hurt, but he got lucky too.
It’s always the easiest thing in the world for a driver to simply move over a few feet while they pass, yet far too many don’t. Some will even narrow the gap on purpose (get a rear camera and be SHOCKED at how often this happens).
But hitting someone in a **group **of riders is like being legally blind and behind the wheel.
