100 buck fine for dooring cyclist to death

The crash happened on Oct. 11 just before 9 a.m. Nacu had been cycling when she was struck by a door being opened by the driver of a parked car as she passed. Nacu was thrown off her bike into oncoming traffic and struck by a Volkswagen.

Nacu was pronounced dead at the scene.




So that is why cyclists dislike on-street parking so much.
But uptown Waterloo, if you try to occupy a whole lane to stay a yard away from an endless row of car doors, well expect honking despite the presence of a pass lane.
