  1. I’ve been hit by cars 3 times while cycling and survived by they call me speed bump. I have close calls every week and police rarely ticket cars that pass too close. Bikes are invisible to cars, they just don’t pay attention to us.

  2. How many years he getting? The lady Kitchen got 2 days or 2 years for killing her daughter and her friend while impaired. Will God run over Kitchen or will she get away with it?
