The video is going around Twitter and it's really bad, they intentionally hit a car while laughing and taunting the driver they hit, then they intentionally hit and kill a cyclist.

This wasn't an accidental hit an run. They aimed the car at the cyclist. A bicycle lane wouldn't have been a factor in this case.

Of course it would help, a physical separation between the two would made it harder to the driver to hit the cyclists. A bike lane that is just a line of paint on the road wouldn't, but paint is not infrastructure.

In the Netherlands (we know about bike lanes!).A bike lane is often not seperated from cars with any physical barriers in urban area's. When someone intentionally wants to hit you with their car there is little to stop them.

I'm guessing you also don't need them.

Depends on how protected it is, I've seen variants here with fences
