Far beyond messed up..."I don't care"????? It would be real interesting to know the follow up to this and how the courts handle it.

That does change my perception - dang. But as for swerving to miss an animal, I'd guess most drivers would be focused on what's ahead of them, not what's coming up on the left, when swerving. It could be a total surprise for the driver in that type of situation, hence the need for the cyclist to exercise far more caution than what was exhibited in the video. As it is, purposeful swerving and saying one doesn't care are no bueno.
"Stung by a wasp", think he'll get away with it?

Wow. This is a good place for the "One to the hip" to be inserted. "I don't care." What a complete bastard.

Two wrongs don't make anything right. The guy on the bike should not have been trying to pass in a reckless way, for that matter the guy with the camera is probably due a speeding ticket. The guy driving the car needs to pay some medical bills for the woman who is in the ICU (the guy who was controlling the bike can pay his own) and spend a year or two in jail for his actions though. On top of it all the driver is a pretty poor liar, he already can't keep the story straight...It was a spider, no wait a bee did it AND I was in shock.

Apparently he shouldn't have been riding at all: "Sanders was cited at the scene for passing in a no-pass zone and for driving with an invalid license."
Doesn't make the car driver right, but sure seems like there's plenty of asshattery to go around. Curious though - who has the right-of-way during a pass in Texas?
Yeah, there's plenty of stupid to go around. They're all lucky that they weren't rolling the coroner's van on that one.
I'll agree the cyclist shouldn't have passed, even though none of the speeds involved looked excessive, it was a no passing zone.
What I find really interesting now is that I just saw a gofundme page for the cyclist, and his GF. Guess I am way old school, but I've never looked for other people to cover me financially. I guess it's nice that there are vehicles to promote help like that now, but I've always just done what needed to be done...
