I'm fairly certain hitting a cyclist was illegal before right?
It really seems like careless driving, but I don't think the charge would stick because it requires more than a momentary lapse of judgement. But really, striking another vehicle is a bit more severe than failing to leave enough space. It should at least get some demerit points.
