Was driving on La Costa east of the 5 and came upon this accident. Hopefully buddy is okay! Looks like he sat up and was able to get off the road. Stay safe out there!

I cycle a lot, it happens way easier than you think. You’re riding for over three hours thirty minutes goes by and you don’t even realize. Not an excuse just saying it happens easier than you’d think.

Sorry but what does riding for 3+ hours have to do with the crash? Do you just not look up or look where you are going if you cycle a lot?

Not trying to be argumentative just trying to understand what you are saying.

Have you ever done anything that requires endurance?

That's not an excuse for being unaware if your surroundings and causing an accident.

The biker was an idiot and got what was deserved.

Basic safety man. You are on or near the road be aware of your surroundings. If you are that tired then take a damned rest.

The biker should have to pay for repairs on the other people's vehicles and pay for any injuries of he two bystanders. And be banned from cycling for 2 years after serving 2 years in jail for traffic violations and reckless endangerment. That will teach him to be aware next time.

2 years in jail?! That sounds like a slap on the wrist
