People getting run over and dying is not awesome, you are correct sir. But it's fact check time!
One dead according to this news story...

It was a race called the Matamoros-Bagdad Cycling Tour in Mexico not a music video. Driver was a drunk American from Texas.

Edit: Dang beat again. First by Byte this morning, now by Graves.
yeah well go touring through Cherry Creek and have a Bicyclist coming at you head on in your lane yelling at you to Get the fuck out of the way.

For the unfamiliar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion
Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that form the basis for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between the forces acting on a body and its motion due to those forces. They have been expressed in several different ways over nearly three centuries,[2] and can be summarized as follows:
- First law: Every body remains in a state of constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force.[3][4][5] This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force, the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant velocity.
- Second law: A body of mass m subject to a net force F undergoes an acceleration a that has the same direction as the force and a magnitude that is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass, i.e., F = ma. Alternatively, the total force applied on a body is equal to the time derivative of linear momentum of the body.
- Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear. This means that whenever a first body exerts a force F on a second body, the second body exerts a force −F on the first body. F and −F are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This law is sometimes referred to as the action-reaction law, with F called the "action" and −F the "reaction". The action and the reaction are simultaneous.

I'm not sure that is the worst....
A couple years back I was commuting to Colorado Springs from Denver 4-5 a week ( some weeks more often) when working for two hockey teams at World Arena.
I can not count how many times I "flew up" on some on in the left lane .. doing 55 with NO ONE around them. and they would almost NEVER move over .. even on the days I was running early and I would tailgate the hell outta them to see if they would get the point. so then I'd have to pass on the right... used to piss me off to no end... SO glad I don't have to make those trips regularly anymore.
I once got a ticket on I-25 in the middle of denver on my motorcycle cuz I came up on a guy doing 45 in the left lane, I snapped into the middle lane .. then back into the left lane about a foot from his bumper.... cop hit me for illegal lane change.... yeah I suppose I shouldn't have done it so close but I was annoyed..... I'd even used my turn signal!![]()
