He was in the middle lane and the rider didn't do a sudden swerve or a hard braking. The rider is clearly seen looking back as he applied his brakes. In all that time surely the driver would have seen him. Was the rider "acting stupidly" (
) Yes. Did this stupid move need to be countered with a bumper? If I ran over every stupid person I saw on the street I would be in jail. This is an emotional case because of the sheer number of riders and the reputation they have built for themselves, please believe me when I say I have no sorrow for them or for the rider who may never walk again, he got what he gave, IOW, Karma came a calling. I also believe that the driver will get his own form of Karma, whatever that may be.
