I don't know what the driver saw other than we were crossing with a crosswalk signal in a designated crosswalk lane. I do know they attempted to run us over.
If they had how would this have played out for the motorist? Failure to yield for a pedestrian. On civil side this would be negligence. Pretty clear cut.
Ask yourself, as a driver, is it worth it to lose everything that you own, everything that you have worked for your entire life to harm a cyclist or 'cut it close' because you are irritated, in a rush, or convinced you are correct? Is it the right thing to do, to teach 'the spandex crowd a lesson", ever?
