Is this a little unfair?

Now okay there is no way that she should have been texting on her phone and the whole thing is a tragedy but FOUR years!!

Maybe I'm being insensitive and if I am that I will put my hand up and walk away but the way I'm reading that is he went through a red light & wasn't wearing a helmet. Doesn't that make him responsible in some way for what happened? Or did I wake up one morning & rules of the road which the judge seems to have very forcibly applied to her, not apply to cycists anymore?

I reckon she'll harm herself inside, possibly fatally. From the picture she seems broken up as it is. A very tragic set of circumstances.

Had she not been texting would the cyclist still be alive? possible not
Had the cyclist stopped at the red light would he still be alive? Almost certainly.

Nail. Head. IMHO.
