Due process of law found the defendant not guilty and that is the end of the matter.


Of course it isn't.

The law clearly isn't protecting cyclists from negligent drivers.

Anyone who cycles will know that selfish and dangerous driving is common.

More needs to be done. An obvious start would be a requirement for cars
to be fitted with camera recording equipment so that juries can see the
truth. At the moment reasonable doubt means careless and aggressive
motorists can hide behind a defence of bad luck or an isolated incident.
