Poor Kimberley Davis.

The 21-year-old Australian woman was livid when she slammed into a bicyclist while texting late last year, putting dents in her car. The victim suffered a spinal fracture and would spend the next three months in a hospital, but Davis wasn't having any of it, The Standard reports.

"I just don’t care because I’ve already been through a lot of bs and my car is, like, pretty expensive and now I have to fix it," she told a responding officer two days after the Sept. 20 collision. "I’m kind of pissed off that the cyclist has hit the side of my car. I don’t agree that people texting and driving could hit a cyclist. I wasn’t on my phone when I hit the cyclist."

Davis, of Port Fairy, pleaded guilty on Monday to dangerous driving and was fined $4,500. Police say she used her phone behind the wheel 44 times before running down the cyclist. She called emergency responders but parked more than 300 feet away from the victim and refused to offer him help.

Davis couldn't contain her sadness after the loss of her license, and she made her woes known on Facebook:

The photo above appears to show that Davis expects to get her license back in May. She won't -- a judge on Monday suspended her license for another nine months.

The wife of the injured cyclist -- who got spinal surgery and was told he could have been a paraplegic -- said she was deeply disappointed that Davis' license wasn't suspended for longer.

With $4500 Australian she could have gotten 10 Guardsmen and a Chimera.

This woman is a witch. Hopefully one of Australias myriad predators eat her face.

Haha I saw this yesterday and considered posting it, but then started painting WM/H and forgot. Missed opportunity

She's kinda hot, right?

**hotsauceman1**

She is so stupid, she doesnt realize that there is no 23rd month.

Kinda, in that dehumanized "I want to treat you like an object, not a human being" kind of way.

Solid 7/10. If she did something about that nose, she might be a 8 or 9.

Also, does anyone find the green screen Huffington uses on their videos just a little too obvious? I mean, we all know they're just filming this on iPhones in a Starbucks somewhere, right?

Just to clarify, that's a joke right?

Yeah she's pretty delicious although she looks like she goes a bit overboard on the makeup or tanning still hot though.

Her next traffic collision I hope happens with no one around, only her hurt, and her car written off

In a word, no

If you'd go that, don't actually come here. Your brains would explode.

I read that as "brick" and laughed, although bike is wittier and more appropriate.

Really?

I mean, she certainly seems like a pos of a human, but you don't need to be good person to......

Probably best if I allow everyone to fill in that blank.

**timetowaste85**

Wrap it, tap it, and toss it. Right into the heart of a bike race.

**Jehan-reznor**

She looks like a natural blonde, i hope the next time she is texting behind the wheel it will not be a bicycle but a road train.

**TheCustomLime**

I don't know what I find more offensive: Her callousness or the way she talks.

**Jihadin**

Kronk. Render judgement on her please.

**OIIIIIIO**

Out of morbid pleasure ... I wonder if the carpet matches the drapes ... or are they hardwood floors?

OT: This is the problem with the up and coming generation ... me me me. WTF?!? You just ran someone OVER and you have the audacity to be pissed at HIM? .45 to the base of the skull, pull the trigger, send the bill for the round to the family.

I'm torn between a love of justice and a hatred for bicyclists.

It's like, on the one hand, the driver is an idiot. On the other hand, feth bicyclists.

This reminds me of the two girls who stole from girl scouts, got caught, charged, found guilty, yet still didn't understand why they had to give the money back.

My wife used to work at a movie theater back in the day and one time the manager brought her dogs in with her. One of the dogs jumped up on one of the employees and broke his glasses, and she was mad that she had to pay to replace them.

**NuggzTheNinja**

Parts of me say guilty, while other parts of me...just want to carry out the sentence...

See, if she was paying attention and doing her job right, she could have hit so many more cyclists. The real crime is that she only stopped at the one.

**Ouze**

Allegedly she asked the court to set the fine at AUD $4500.01, because she can't even.

**Hordini**

The most disgusting part is that she parked 300 feet away from the victim and refused to offer him help.

Hitting him because she was texting and driving was stupid enough, but refusing to help him afterwards is fraggin' callous.
