Ugh...

I'm fairly certain he did not mean to kill anyone. I'm also fairly certain he does not feel like a "winner" for having killed someone.

And it is terrible that someone died. More terrible than the person responsible feeling bad, of course. But the big issue is not punishment. The big issue is prevention. If you want to get your pitchforks out, join the Daily Mail comments section.

Hi Horatio,

Sorry that my words were crass. I should have said that there was one big loser and one guy that didn't lose much.

I am sure that the guy doesn't feel like a winner, but he has not lost anything - ie. he probably still has a job, is in contact with friends and family. The cyclist and his family / friends do not have this luxury.

Sorry, this whole 'drivers killing cyclists and getting away with it' thing is really getting to me.
