45 in a 30 and texting. to me that is dangerous driving. A death was caused.

However, the cyclist did run a red light so basically was taking his life in his hands.

I think the conviction is sound, but perhaps the penalty imposed is a bit harsh given that the cyclist should not have been there.

Would be interesting to read the trial transcript to see how much was made of the cyclist's culpability.
