It would not surprise me that as a plea bargain for the two citations the driver is required to give up her license.

Of course, it's unclear from the description whether the driver was engaged in the typical inattention or carelessness of many drivers that result in accidents, just that in this case because she hit a bicyclist the consequences were far greater or if her driving conduct reflected poor vision, judgment, reactions, or general disregard for safety that warrants something more.

I'm not Lance or Charlie, but it seems that a single incident by itself doesn't justify rescinding a license. A larger pattern of conduct (not necessarily of the same type) should be necessary.
