They did what that guy should've - got on a bicycle instead.
Someone should pose the reverse situation to him. Say they'd all been drinking and they drove while he got on a bike and was minding his own business on the shoulder of the road, and they came blasting up the right side and plowed him over and killed him.
Does his consumption of alcohol factor in any way shape or form into the reckless decision of the driver?
By all accounts it doesn't sound like they were anywhere they shouldn't have been as cyclists at that moment, so this pitiful attempt at a defense should fall on deaf ears.
