With the California mindset that
everything is ok, just so there is an
apology afterwards. Deputy James
Council, had a DUI, but got off with a
plea deal because he said he was sorry.
Now that he has killed two cyclists,
again he says he's all torn up and
devastated. So they'll let him off again.
Some stats from the SF Chronicle:
According to the CHP statistics, 179 Bay
Area bicyclists have been killed and
25,715 injured in bicycle collisions
with cars between 1997 and 2006.
Santa Clara County was the deadliest
place for Bay Area bicyclists over the
past decade, according to the CHP data,
which is collected from local police and
sheriff's departments. A total of 44
bicyclists were killed during the 10
years. Alameda County had the second
highest total of fatal bicycle
collisions with 29
Santa Clara County also had the most
bicycle injuries - 6,888. Alameda County
followed with 5,803, and San Francisco
was third with 3,165.

Text messaging, and cell phone use is
excessive also in California, with
non-existent laws that make killing
cyclists a sport. Wild horses couldn't
drag me to ride in California.
