manslaughter you need justify the "action in the heat of passion": when you
are driving a big bus, whatever a cyclist has done around or ahead of you,

In the past I’ve made a distinction between the “cyclist” and the “guy
on a bike.” The former is a type of person, while the second is a
coincidence or a circumstance. My definition of “cyclist” is two-fold:
1) A “cyclist” rides a bike even when he or she does not have to.
Someone who rides out of necessity is not necessarily a cyclist. For example
, the drunk driver who must cycle to work because his license has been taken
away is not a cyclist. Nor is the delivery person who... 阅读全帖 |

up all in a sudden? From the cyclist's point of view, it is really difficult

新闻说两个cyclist并排骑车挡道就是不让，一个医生开车终于找机会超过去之后来了
个 brake check，导致俩 cyclist 重伤。医生被判了9年。
这种事没办法，只能互相理解，谦让。cyclist稍微往右边靠点，司机也nice点。大家
都没事了。要是cyclist想着反正你不敢撞我所以我就是不让，司机在后面狂按喇叭，
双方火气都上来了，那早晚要出事。这个视频里的电动车主就是这号人。要知道美国自
