This thread is insane. It's been summarized multiple times by people with a little bit of sense.
1. Horrible riding. Ran a red light. Should get a ticket. (Traffic offense)
2. Apparent criminal act leaving the scene of an accident. (Criminal Code) Even the "I'm afraid I'm going to get mugged" - the response is to stop, call emergency services and stay in your car if you're that petrified.
3. Investigation by news outlets - seems a pattern of this politician not believing in cause & effect or fulfilling responsibilities (paying bills, tickets, etc.)
Other than the possibility of the driver getting away with the hit & run offense from connections, there's not much to discuss. The cyclist was 100% in the wrong for the crash, and while the driver could have been driving slower, there was not sufficient reaction time to do anything even at a lower reasonable speed. Doesn't really look like she was even speeding as a possible contributing factor to the collision .
