http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/16/texting-driver-hits-bicyclist-i-dont-care_n_5158966.htmlPoor Kimberley Davis.
The 21-year-old Australian woman was livid when she slammed into a bicyclist while texting late last year, putting dents in her car. The victim suffered a spinal fracture and would spend the next three months in a hospital, but Davis wasn't having any of it, The Standard reports.
"I just dont care because Ive already been through a lot of bullshit and my car is, like, pretty expensive and now I have to fix it," she told a responding officer two days after the Sept. 20 collision. "Im kind of pissed off that the cyclist has hit the side of my car. I dont agree that people texting and driving could hit a cyclist. I wasnt on my phone when I hit the cyclist."

The appropriate response would be to lift her license and impound her car until after she's completed a year of intensive therapy.

she hit the cyclist, so he should be able to sue her for lots of money too.
