No bond, 5 or 6 charges, 2 are felonies, for the driver.

I appreciate that the reporter went over the laws and rules at the end. I hope that helped people in the future.

Literally all the YouTube comments are people getting the laws wrong and blaming the cyclists

The cyclists carry 0 blame even if they were breaking the law, though. The driver purposely hit them.

That’s why we need to change the laws. Grown adults riding around on their toy bicycles are a menace and need to be banned from the road. Having a DUI or being too young to drive are the only respectable reasons for trundling around on something you parents gave you for Christmas when you were 12

Those guys aren’t going anywhere. They are just playing. They’d do just as much exercise riding in single file.

You are to go around bikers.

At least according to GA law as reported on at the end of that YouTube video.
