When Worlds Collide
Here is yet another article By Bob Mionske telling of another unfortunate incident between a cyclist and an automobile. This one unfortunately ends in a most tragic and senseless loss of life. Read the article and try to remain objective. Then, head on over to YouTube and watch the videos including actual video of the incident as well as interviews with some witnesses. I find it ironic that Michael Bryant (the driver), a rather high ranking Canadian politician was the one involved. Why?
Among his targets as the provinces top law enforcement official, were street-racing motorists. In 2007 he gave the police the power to seize and destroy cars modified for racing even if no charges were lodged against their owners.
After describing such cars as being as dangerous as explosives, he said, “We will crush your car, we will crush the parts.” So this is a guy who admittedly finds cars to be as dangerous as explosives.
Read on and ride safe, I'd love to hear your opinions.
