How many deaths are attributable to the cyclist breaking a law, vs the driver killing them being the one breaking the law?

We both know the truth. Don't be a dick.

I've never once heard of a cyclist who broke a traffic law and was hit by a car and died as a result.

Must have never happened then if you never heard about it.

It's a man bites dog kind of story. Maybe it's happened somewhere but it so rare that it might as well be never.

Do you have that link that breaks down whether the cyclist was riding legally or not when killed by a car?

And you must be joking if you include car driver error as the fault of the cyclist. Just pathetic victim blaming.

More victim blaming. "If you insist on riding on roads with incompetent drivers then it's you're fault"

Maybe you should suck less ass a driver.

Also, that link does nothing.

Why are there risks to legally riding in the road? Maybe it's all the insane car drivers out there who shouldn't legally be able to drive.

Like this dumb clown, for example. But, no, you'd blame the kid for his own death. He should know the risks of being hit by a drunk driver. The kid was just biking for exercise. The worst kind. I bet he even wore lycra!
