Allthough you will call this anecdotal, I have not had to dodge out
of the way of motorist driving on the pavement for as long as I can
remember.
But I often have to dodge a pavement cyclist & just before Christmas
my daughter was knocked over by a pavement cyclist.


And as the figures show, you are many times more likely to be killed
or injured on the footway by a motor vehicle than by a cyclist. So
yes, your anecdote indicates another outlier. Or perhaps people are
so obsessed by pavement cycling that they go out of their way to
remember it.


At the public policy level it is ignorable.


It is difficult not to obsessed by something when you are driving to the
hospital to pick up your daughter from A & E.


Can't you read, or something?

Guy says your daughter's injury is ignorable. As far as he's concerned, she
doesn't matter.

Let that be an end of it.
