The article contains video evidence of the driver aggressively honking then starting to pass with basically zero space to the group of cyclists, then colliding with one cyclist who subsequently crashed. The cyclist got injuries to his vertebrae, but has thankfully made what appears to be a full recovery.
The driver seems to be under the delusion that he did nothing wrong, and that he will “take it all the way to the supreme court”.
Passed too close leading to collision? He passed like. Three inches away from the bicycles, and one of the bicycles ended up hitting his car. Probably because when a big ass car passes that close you get sucked into it.
Point is, it wasn’t a bowling pins type situation where you could clearly call it attempted murder, but he definitely fucked up.
Passed too close or collided? One seems like a fine and one seems like prison time, two quite different level of crimes

I think imprisonment is arguably warranted here.

One is a “your* car should be impounded permanent and your drivers license revoked” and the other is prison time.
*doesn’t matter who actually has the title; the car the was being driven.
