The main problem is it happened on the road so they can only charge him
with
offences under the traffic act. Dangerous driving, failing to stop etc.
Sadly we don't have a vehicular homicide charge or similar in Australia
yet
so it's up to the individual victims to lay their own assault charges
and/or
damages claims.
I doubt he'll get jail but, short of allowing the cyclists baseballs bats
and 30 mins alone with him, having to pay for the damage to all those
high-end bikes would be a most excellent outcome in this case I think.
