Cowling Brow, Chorley? There is a footway on either side of the road.
But you prefer - for understandable reasons - to believe that an
elderly and vulnerable lady pedestrian was walking down the middle of
the carriageway.


What is a strong *possibility* has already been written. Please try to
read posts in their entirety before reply.


You didn't wrote it as a mere possibility.

You wrote that the cyclist's victim was to blame because she'd been out
on the carriageway, just as if no cyclist ever hurtled along the
footway, as a confident account of what you expected to have happened.
You adnmitted of no other possibility than the cyclist being blameless.

Sensible people are well aware that the liklihood of the cyclist being
blameless and the elderly victim blameworthy (which is what you believe)
to be very low indeed.
