the driver was lucky he wasn't in Chicago

don't think they'd prayed with him there...

-ok ok, I don't think he hit her on purpose but, I still belive a harsh sentence should be taken, perhaps running with the husband in the next 40 races...-

Poor thing, but atleast her husband was there with her...

I had a turkey run go through my neighborhood, Motorcycle cops driving on the sidewalk, 4 of them to escort 1 person out.

Well we waited 15 mins for them to pass, what was funny was when the turkey came running by.

We were on our way to my first CivilWar Re-enactment, and I was proud to see that our neighborhood held it well, and that people would actually stand on their drive way and flag down the cop to escort them out.

Police said the driver of the Escort, Diomedes Rivera, 87, of 2106 South Fore Circle, drove around barricades on nearby streets, including a marked police car.

What were the cops doing in the marked car? Why did'nt they stop him?

Tis a sad thing the lady was hit, but give me a freaking break, it wasnt intentional. As someone whos neighborhood gets more than its share of bike/walk/run/sashay lockdowns on various weekends there have been times...

The steets dont belong to you!
They belong to the city and the city can do with them as they please.
Wich in this case they did and this fool thought he was better than everyone else and the LAW did not apply to him .
Now an old lady with a rich history with her husband and family is dead.

I swear some people are nothing more than steaming piles of dog chit.

Once as a bike courier in DC I followed a guy for 15 blocks after he nearly killed me. WHen I caught him I slammed my fist into his driver side window (didnt break either my hand or the window) in a direct challenge to him to get out and settle it like a man. He took off like a bat out of hell through a red light lol.

Probably was the best move for him as I was seriously pissed ad probably would have thrashed him soundly right there in the street

bikers gotta hate em. Not bikers like Harley's but bikers like those little wimpy courier deliverer kind

We have a lot of those here in Austin. Most are ok but there are several who just love to ride there bike in the middle of a 2 lane road at 7:30 am or 5:30 pm. and yeah they old side mirrors have gotten REALLY close a few times. Freakin *******s who think they own the road. Gues what, CARS DO OWN THE ROAD (not closed roads GoFaster that's messed up).

Why do some dickweed bicyclist think they're so important that they can just go out and make traffic more worse than it already is? I'm hoping to see one get hit one day, don't want to hit him myself. But some of those guys deserve it.

Check Texas Laws
Cyclist have the same rights of the raod as cars.
And they are subject to getting tickets that effect the drivers licences and insurance.

If it was your grandma, I'd be dead from the force of the collision with such a massive object.

You assume there were cops in the car. Normally they'll park sideways across a road, then fan out 1 block in either direction to act as additional traffic control and communicate via radio.
