Quite blaming infrastructure for poor driving habits.
Agreed. Also, from the sounds of it, the driver wasn't looking at the road (was searching for his cell phone on the ground). He could have just as easily rear-ended the cyclist had he been in the lane.
OP, I'm so sorry for your friend's family's loss.
