Poor guy, totally undeserved of arrest what can he do when if the cyclist can't keep on the right side of the road?

simple question. Looking at the explanation as how the accident happened, why should he be arrested?

So someone comes on the wrong side of the road, looses balance and knocks on you, whos fault? Damn motor cyclists allways do it. Especially at colour lights. They should be run over.

You know, we can bend the law

the motorcyclist was entire at fault riding on the wrong side of the road. Why should Kule be breath tested? Is it for following the correct traffic rules i.e. driving on the correct side of the road
