Ya that makes sense maybe a little child of his! Sort of like the bikers that were killed, innocent. You need to get a life. What he did though wrong and terrible was probably an accident. Should he be punished? Absolutly but it happens all the time with vehicles and bikes and before we should kill the cops family maybe channel some of your stupidity and anger to making all of Americe more bike knowledgable and friendly. Hell this tragic story that happens every where and thank God this year as I got tagged I was about 6 inchs from death. The man wasnt paying attention! I feel no need to kill his family. Maybe change the damn state governement to putting in some road where bikes can travel safely. Or the NC Highway patrol could have charged him for hit and run and no license? And more importantly educate the masses about us and that we are not causing traffic we are traffic. And ya the article was pure shit as they started to blame the cyclist or at least left an idiot that doesnt know any better think it may be us again. Wayward cyclists my ass!

DWI - driving while impaired, which falls under DUI - driving under the influence. A punishable offense. We have all seen in news video people being arrested, handcuffed, and placed in the back of law enforcement vehicles when this offense has been commited, especially when there are fatalities. Bobbo, are you reading this? No blue wall eh? Are you sure. Deputy sheriff council's father claims his son is getting no special treatment. Yeh sure. Deputy sheriff council is on a paid vacation for commiting a punishable offense. The Santa Clara Co. sheriffs' dept. released a statement about promoting bicycle safety awareness by cracking down on wayward cyclists. How is this going to help us from wayward motorists? It feels like the Santa Clara Co. sheriffs' dept. are protecting their own. Do they really think they are above the law? That they cannot be held accountable for their actions? How do they expect for the public to trust them when this is the kind of integrity they demonstrate. Under state law, a drowsy driver is an impaired driver.

"There's already been several follow up stories. I have a feeling that people are reading very early web versions of the story that didn't include a great deal of information that was released later. I think that someone might have simply copied and pasted the information on to their blog or an e-mail. However, we were the first news outlet to report the deputy hadn't been tested for drugs and alcohol, as well as the first to report yesterday that he may have fallen asleep. It will take, likely, months for the CHP to finish its investigation, but we do plan on staying on top of the story. Hope that helps." This response in from Leslie Griffy @ Mercury News…
