Victim blaming a cyclist not at fault for a crash

So the woman cyclist did what she's allowed to  do, and then gets a ticket for the crash, despite the driver admitting being at fault? I'd like to say 'only in the US' but that wouldn't be true.

I'll add this one I saw today

The kid was using a zebra crossing the the m/c overtook stopped cars - but it was the kid's fault for cycling on the crossing. Some of the comments can only come from an irrational hatred of cyclists.
