highway cyclists should be banned
Bad drivers should be banned from highways.

Are you for real?? Someone doesn't look where they're going, runs a cyclist over and its the cyclists fault? Logical..
Bad drivers should be banned from highways.

How about, instead of suggesting banning cyclists, people actually abide by the rules of the road and the law. The driver has been charged with reckless driving so it's quite clear who was in the wrong.
