Moral of the story: If you can't lie your way out of it... plead guilty:

"Kinkade said he heard a thump on his car and saw the cyclists on the ground in his rearview mirror, but didn’t think they were seriously hurt so he didn’t stop."

Ohhhh ... so the driver has the right to the road and no one else does?
 
I would think that 30 days in the hole with bad music would have been far better medicine!

You know who that is right? Skatterbrane is a hint...I'm not saying in public again (I got a warning on TGP for mentioning his name). Another pickup winder and friend of mine wrote me about it when it happened. He was Pissed to put it mildly. According to him this is typical behavior for this guy... he doesn't regularly run over cyclists he is just regularly an ass... he was really upset when he told me about it because he knows they guy and how he is.
 
This is totally unacceptable. From felonies to a civil suit??? Really? Where are Jesse and Reverend Al?? OH.. nevermind....

The article says it was Rodney Kinkade, Jr.  Means nothing to me.  I'll have forgotten in 5 mins...  Should it?  Am I bothered?  He left the scene of an accident and went to jail for it.
Is he some gobal drugs baron and I've put my life in danger just by copy/pasting his name?

No, he makes guitar pickups, his own brand... which I would never buy after this incident.

Couldn't help being reminded of this - about 20 seconds in...
