The hit and run is bad enough as it is. Having watched the video, the cyclist is a bona fide Darwin award nominee: Running a red light, looking in the opposite direction (his left) from where the one way traffic is flowing... he never saw the SUV coming at him.
You are correct. I did mention right off the bat that the hit and run was bad. I could have added it also was inexcusable, no matter how bad the cyclist behaved.
Yeah...I would have stopped even if it was a deer that ran into the side of me...But I can't help but see the guy on the bike literally looks like the NPC poster child...so I feel bad...but not that bad
I watched the vid a few times myself. Looked to me like the cyclist was making a left hand turn at the intersection.
I don't know how the lights work in that foreign land of N. Jersy, but where I live, all traffic is stopped by redlight and then the green goes for left hand turners. If this was the case, we wouldn't be able to see the green for the turners because of the angle of the camera. And it would explain why the cyclist was watching for traffic in a particular direction, assuming as we all do that the cross traffic was red light stopped.
Like leftists everywhere, drivers/riders turning left gotta have it speshul just for them.
An actual video shows the cyclist ran a red light. Of course the SUV driver should have stopped, but Bike Guy is an idiot. In some places in NJ bikes, scooters, motor bikes, and where I live even powered skateboards, are allowed in car lanes. It is insane. Some towns have signs for cars to "share the road". Now state officials (officially morons), are wondering why there are so many bike and pedestrian accidents involving cars. Nothing like driving behind some entitled jerk on a bike doing ten to fifteen MPH while traffic backs up for miles.

Wouldn’t you or I stop to check if the person is alright? Yes, any decent person would stop.
