Racing cyclist airlifted from Exmoor

Seems to happen every year, racing on the road should be banned.

But it isn't going to happen. Instead, we have a situation where drivers
are finding themselves banned, intimidated, fined and priced off the
very roads that they think they own.

How sad lol

Are you trying to claim this is statistically significant above background?

What was special about this one that it deserved a story? The report even
says "The man, who is *thought* to have suffered a broken pelvis".

The Air Ambulance has a mission map. This month alone, at least (I haven't
clicked all the missions) 7 people have been carried away from crashed motor
vehicles and 4 people from falls from horses. As usual, your sense of what
is
important is skewed.

Very sad, yes, that you have to use your usual diversionary tactics yet
again.

without the race: this crash and serious injury would not have occurred.

Without people going to visit relatives or go to the shops many car
accidents wouldn't occur. Can't they ring up or order by phone?

You haven't a clue about what might have happened otherwise. Someone wanting
to go on that ride might have stayed at home and cut his finger with a
kitchen knife. Where does it say anything about "serious injury"?
