I saw a picture of this on Twitter, and that was enough.

I have no inclination to watch the video.

Is there any debate over whether that is careless driving or not?

Hope the cyclist isn't too badly hurt.

In all likelihood, if it does go further, it will be charged as without due care and attention. The drivers fine and costs will probably be less than the cost of repairs to the bike. Which would have to be pursued through civil courts. Or a hard fight with the insurance company.

Sad reflection of our times.
