re: Driver intentionally hits cyclist:

That video is pretty horrifying. Why does there need to be a special law? Isn't this just aggravated assault? If a guy walked up to someone on the street and took a swing at them with a baseball bat, wouldn't it be aggravated assault? Whats the difference between a bat and a car as far as deadliness of the weapon? Can any DC lawyers or cops explain the law here?
