Carnage in Michigan you might have missed: Why is a 12 year old bicyclists at “fault”? Can’t the driver pay better attention?  She was 12 year’s old for Christ sake…she’s out riding her bike…Guess what? She is going to be unpredictable; slow the #@*^! down! I like love the idea of “strict liability“

(excuse the potty mouth)
