Riding a bicycle in the primary position is an excellent way to make
sure that drivers can see you, but is no defence against a driver
intent on using their vehicle as a lethal weapon.


and on some roads it will hold up traffic and cause road rage.


No it won't - cyclists ARE traffic.
And road rage is caused by inconsiderate car drivers, not traffic.
Anyway, it looks as though Mr. Gledhill won't be receiving mail at [his
apparent home address] for quite a while.


You obviously hope that his family, despite the difficulties already
caused to them, are also going to be on the receiving end of bricks
through the windows and other terrorism perpetrated by militant, though
brain-dead, cyclists.


Do you mean Stuart A. and Samantha M. Gledhill?


No.

Why did you think I did?

And what about answering my question?

Who will benefit from terrorising that family?

You should seek help over your sexual fantasies.

Hey, Tom, it's nice to meet someone else with the same name.

"The man who hit and killed cycle campaigner John Radford in a road rage incident has been jailed for four years and eight months after admitting causing death by dangerous driving, reports The Huddersfield Examiner.

Michael Gledhill was convicted of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in 2013, but when Radford later died of his injuries, fresh charges were brought.

Radford was chairman of Huddersfield CTC and a Yorkshire regional representative on the CTC's national council. He is credited with spearheading the CTC's Road Justice campaign in West Yorkshire by meeting with his PCC, Mark Burns-Williamson, to deliver the Road Justice report.

On July 31, 2013, he became involved in an altercation with Gledhill while cycling on the A616 Huddersfield Road in New Mill. Gledhill was accused of succumbing to "road rage" and following a collision, Radford fell into the road, sustaining brain damage.

A jury at Leeds Crown Court subsequently found Gledhill guilty of causing serious injury through dangerous driving, but a month later, Radford died of his injuries. A decision was then made to pursue the more serious charge of causing death by dangerous driving."

The judge said "What you did was deliberate", which means it was murder and the sentence should have been life without parole.

Indeed - just like this case. 24 years.

Judith has an elongated, eel-like body, and a paddle-like tail. The skin
is naked and covers the body like a loosely fitting sock.

The difference between those cases is that in one the guilty party got
into his car with the intention of running someone down, while in the
other the act was committed in the heat of the moment.
