As a native, I would never gamble my life on a match between 200 pounds of human on a bike against 4000 + pounds of steel on the same road.

I don't care how careful you are on your bike - you don't know who is in control of that 4000 pounds of metal behind you or if they give a damn about your right to be on the road.

My faith in the goodness of human nature does not extend to sacrificing my life to test it.

How can both vehicles (yes a bike is a vehicle) turn onto Montagu at the same time ? The Jeep must have been practically on top of the rider from the beginning.

SC law states that "A driver of a motor vehicle must at all times maintain a safe operating distance between the motor vehicle and a bicycle" Section 56-5-3435

Forget the rest of the details - this driver was way too close!

Absolutely tragic.
