The case also demonstrates that the usual suspects are wrong when
they whine about speed limits. Had the criminal been driving at or
below the speed limit, 40 mph, rather than between 50 and 60 mph,
then it is unlikely that he would have crashed into the cyclist.

As usual the criminal tried to blame the victim. Not only claiming
that the cyclist was on the wrong side of the road but also that the
cyclist did not have lights on his vehicle. Both claims were lies.

As was the lie by the driver that he was not on the wrong side of the
road.

For the lies alone he should have had extra punishment. But as we all
know both the police and the courts are dominated by the car culture,
which seems to have a strong anti-cyclist, anti-vulnerable-victim
bias, amounting sometimes almost to hatred if these newsgroups are
anything to go by.
