Driver who killed teenage cyclist demands €8,000 from his parents

Original: automobiliste

A French driver who struck and killed a teenage cyclist has demanded 8,000 euros from the boy's parents to cover repairs to his car, prompting outrage. The case, reported by La Montagne, has drawn widespread criticism, with the quote "you really have to have nerve" summing up public reaction. It comes as a separate Breton court acquitted a driver who killed a 70-year-old woman on a pedestrian crossing in Guipry-Messac, fuelling debate over how French justice treats motorists who kill.

Why now: Two court decisions sparing drivers who killed pedestrians and cyclists, plus the demand for damages, have reignited anger over perceived leniency toward motorists in France.
