It's quite fun to see how long one can balance without much forward

Even funnier when the idiot cyclist falls off :-)

Or when a motorist trips over the curb, eh?

Over the what?

Apparently more English speakers use "curb" than use "kerb." So, like
"road tax" it must be correct.

It is correct-ish in some places. The United Kingdom is not one of them.

The US is correct-ish. And a lot of people use it in the UK, like
"Road Tax." Perhaps it is a process of change.

The "people ... in the UK" you mention will consist of two groups in the
main:

(a) Americans who know no better (that won't be all Americans) and

(b) other people who know no better.

Which one are you?

A 13-YEAR-OLD died after she cycled out in front of a car an inquest

yesterday
Joy, of Mare Hey Lane, Ewloe, tragically hit her head on the curb when
she
landed and died as a result of a massive head injury.

You should write letters to the editors complaining about their errors.
Undoubtedly you would snivel that I had altered the text if I were to
correct it. You cannot have it both ways.
