In the article "Charges Weighed in Bicyclist's Death in Fort Collins", what matters is trying to figure out whether or not the driver of the car should be charged. A nine year old girl was hit by a sports utility vehicle when she was riding her bike on her way home from school. The girl, Erica Forney, died on Thanksgiving Day after she was in the hospital for two days. They say the driver could have been talking on her cell phone when she drifted into the bike lane. Prosecutors aren't sure whether to charge the driver or not because witnesses say the bicyclist wasn't wearing a helmet and going the wrong way in the bike lane. This connects to me because I don't think people should be allowed to be so distracted on their cell phones while driving. This connects to the world because everyone needs to be focused on their driving when they are behind the wheel. What matters in the article "Charges Weighed in Bicyclist's in Death in Fort Collins" is figuring out if the driver should be charged with the bicyclist's death.
