MODERATORS
It's always been horrific to me how some people feel a sense of moral entitlement to hurt others either via carelessness or stupidity, like when hearing comments drivers have made about cyclists while I'm a passenger. As if the cyclist is intent on causing problems, so they "get what they deserve." Truly sickening shit. My uncle was in a coma for 2 months after being hit while biking. Brain hemorrhaging, he was wearing a helmet but wasn't enough. He's lucky to be alive. Cultural norms indeed are ages behind.
It is a slight reassurance to hear what you're saying about the legal system. I really hope that your description of what cyclists can get awarded is similar to your lived experience, I empathize with you.
