What exactly was the driver supposed to do? Put the child locks on maybe.

He isn't a cab driver. He was the driver of a pirate car.

I hear that this has now changed, but at one time, Home Office
specifications for a purpose-built cab* included a requirement that the
two rear access doors may not be fitted with a lock of any kind, such
that passengers could not be "locked in" either by their own action or
that of the driver. It had implications for the security of parked
taxis, of course, and eventually, that was sufficient to outweigh the
former chief concerns.

[* Not that the vehicle in question was a cab, nor the defendant a
cab-driver, of course.]

Are you a cab driver?

You do seem to be a stupid, right wing bigot, who insists on
broadcasting his inane opinions to people who just aren't interested.

I can certainly see the similarities...

This is not 100% the fault of the driver. The cyclist was ****ed up.
One would have thought that a cyclist/road user would have been more
careful?
In a past life I've owned taxis and many a time I've had to shout "DON'T
OPEN THE DOOR"!!!!!!!

We are all well aware that cyclists are only interested in themselves
and their own self-justifications. That doesnn't mean that they should
be allowed to reside within their natural state of ignorance.

I can certainly see the similarities...

BTW: Was the "cyclist" in the story really riding his bike in the back
of the car?

It's pretty certain that you have not seen the light of day for many
years. It's not just a lack of vitamin d that you're suffering from.

So when a cyclist is riding past a parked car and the driver opens his door and kills the cyclist, it is the passing cyclist's fault to riding too close?

However, a drunken cyclist is killed as he exits a taxi without looking and now it is the car's occupant that is to blame for not looking.

In this trial though, the taxi driver was found to be at fault for allowing his passenger to exit when it wasn't safe.

Interesting decision.

If he rode his bike in the back of a car, what did he expect?
