A driver killed a cyclist & then lied about it telling police, "I was driving, I didn't see him because of the sun."
The collision investigation however concluded that the sun was not a factor in the incident.
The driver was sentenced to just 20 months driving ban & 200 hours of unpaid work. Yes, life is cheap if you are a cyclist.
