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.

How does "I expect" not express a possibity?

You wrote that the cyclist's victim was to blame because she'd been out
on the carriageway,

The general idea is to read and try to comprehend what has been written,
not to regurtitate something that you wish had been written.

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.
What on earth are you wittering on about?

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.

That paragraph is essentially correct. However, sensible people are also
well aware that drivers frequently abandon their vehicles in a way that
blocks the pavement.
