Yet another pavement motorist kills.

Even pavements provide no safety from these killer motorists. What can
vulnerable pedestrians and cyclists possibly do to avoid being killed
as they go about their daily business? Can nothing be done to prevent
this car-nage? Obviously existing punishments don't work and neither
do driving tests help in weeding out even the most dangerous drivers.

"A 30-year-old woman who died after being hit by a car in Perth has
been named by police.

Nicola Cross was walking along Jeanfield Road when she was struck by a
car which had mounted the pavement.

The Perth woman died in hospital after sustaining serious head and
chest injuries.

A red Toyota Corolla matching the description of the car involved was
found elsewhere in Perth. An 81-year-old man is being questioned.

The incident happened at about 10:15 on Wednesday, near Jeanfield
Road's junction with Cornhill Road and Burghmuir Road.

Tayside Police have appealed to witnesses to contact them."

You are obviously confused if you can't understand the relevance of a
dangerous situation where cyclists might be concerned.

It seems that age is a common factor in all the cases you seem able to
find, Doug. Isn't the answer to make it illegal for anyone over, say,
79 years old to go out of their homes?

They might be struck by lightning too, so why not post to a weather
watching group?

Therefore if all car-weapon drivers became "pavement motorists", cyclists
would never be in any danger at all. If they all rode their bikes on the
road like they're supposed to, that is.

Doug

Can you explain what we should do.

Seriously endulge your fantasy.

What would you like seen done.

Ban all motorvechicles.

Then im sure you will be blaming arseholes on those racer bicycles for
being dangerous.

Maybe we should reintroduce horse and cart. Just like 19th century New
York where between 100k - 200k horses gave off 24 pounds of manure
and several quarts of urine a day. When a horse died, its carcass
would be left to rot until it had disintegrated enough for someone to
pick up the pieces.

Maybe you should sew airbags in your clothing that contains
pressurised helium and in the event of a collision with a car the
helium ballon will lift you away from danger.
