'Uninsured pedestrian walks in to the road in front of a moving

pedestrian not wearing a helmet.

Speeding means doing 10mph usually.

The rule of thumb is that to a pedestrian, a cyclist is always going
like a "bat out of hell" using the algorithm of perceived speed is the
square of half true speed. To a driver it is "he was cycling down the
middle of the road" with the algorithm of perceived speed is the square
root of twice true speed.

The rule of thumb is that to a cyclist, any pedestrian injured by a
cyclist - even on a footway - is the one at fault. Don't persist in
asking why, they just are, that's all.
