What Happens to Drivers Who Hit Cyclists

Talk to the victims of crashes and their families, and they’ll tell you: when a motor vehicle injures or kills a bicyclist, the American justice system lets drivers off the hook. The harsh truth is that our roads are frighteningly dangerous for cyclists, and our country has a high tolerance for traffic deaths. In this episode, part of Outside ’s ongoing coverage of cycling crashes and deaths , we chronicle two incidents that reveal deep problems with our legal system and consider the work that needs to be done to make our roads safer.
