Just look at the speed that the RV was going! The driver was given a $500 ticket for almost killing 30 cyclists. Insane that they're even allowed to drive after that.

to pull over and give that group a large berth was the easiest thing in the world.

It's always the easiest thing in the world for a driver to simply move over a few feet while they pass, yet far too many don't. Some will even narrow the gap on purpose (get a rear camera and be SHOCKED at how often this happens).

But hitting someone in a **group **of riders is like being legally blind and behind the wheel.
