^That is madness!
Seems there is no duty of care at all on drivers to look out for more vulnerable road users, if a professional driver, who admits to driving while being unable to see properly, is hardly held cupable for killing someone.
Only a change in the law that gives a duty of care to all drivers and especially professional drivers . So even minor traffic infringements would mean severe punishments: jail and fines and a permanent ban.
This IS the law in some European countries which explains why drivers in denmark/netherlands are so good around cyclists- they fear the law
time for the advocacy groups LCC/CTC to consider such a campaign
