Well she handled it rather poorly to say the least.

It can be very irritating when cyclists cause gridlock because they can't take the bus or afford a car but this is taking action way too far.

It isn't bikes causing gridlock, it's the thousands of cars.

"Police say she used her phone behind the wheel 44 times before running down the cyclist."

I'd love to learn how they figured that out

Maybe she was speaking with the police?

Definitely seems like it would merit a reckless driving conviction, at least over here.

Not to mention the lawsuit money.

Wish I could say those seem like lenient laws but here in the US a guy got drunk and killed 4 people and his defense was basically his parents spoiled him too much for him to be liable and he got 10 years probation.

Looking in one of the comment sections, it seems like the Australian state of Victoria has some administrative bureau called TAC, which pays the medical bills of victims of transportation accidents. TAC gives the cyclist the money up front, and then makes the decision themselves as to whether to sue the girl to get back the money that they spent on the guy.

Being internet comment sections, i can't corroborate any of that, but it sounds sensible.

Good. We need less cyclists on the road, causing danger to others. What did the driver do wrong, again?

Well, for one thing she looks like a blonde Snooki.
