Re: Have you hit a person a bike while driving?
Almost hit a Cyclist last week, dusk, 4" of slush, no rear light, and 3 reflector strips on his coat. I followed him for a while, he made a couple turns finally stopped on a side road and had the world weary "What" on his lips when i said I think the battery is out on your rear light. He got hit by a drunk driver and the cops told him
that a rear light was like a magnet to a drunk they keep looking at till they hit it reflectors are better. I ride bikes says I, and I almost hit you. Get a light the brighter the better especially now, no one expects to see a cyclist out this time of year. We had a bit more conversation and went our ways. I hope he stays safe, but I doubt he'll follow my advice.
