We'll never be safe...
Police looking for cyclist who was clipped by car in downtown Victoria
A few things struck me about this story, firstly there is no mention of the police charging the driver with dangerous driving or anything but they want to talk to the cyclist. They may end up charging the driver but it seems odd that they haven't done so already. Secondly it's not a surprise, but it's a little disheartening to read the comments; I estimate about 90% of the readers think the cyclist is at fault for leaving the red light early. In their mind somehow the cyclists's previous actions make him fair game. Finally, notice how the vehicle had at least 6 ft between his car and the one on his left yet he chose to drive within 6 inches of the cyclist, driver was likely focusing on the cyclist rather than the space between the cyclist and car on the left.
Edit: The original story link I included was a facebook link which it appears is not allowed so the comments I referred to were on the facebook page.
