I see that there is a comment made - I wonder if it is anyone we know:

Did the personal injury lawyer really say that :

If a cyclist caused an accident or injured someone, the person affected would
not be able to claim back the cost of damage to their vehicle, compensation or
rehabilitation for any injury, as cyclists do not need to be insured on the
road.

Perhaps it is time to go back to law school.

I am however fed up of being nearly hit by cyclist on the footpath - it is
becoming an all to common occurrence.
