Hey Jay, do you recognize the driver? Couldn't find a rental
pickup in England apparently. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ocks-bike.html -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

What did I tell you? I think its the leather treatment. BTW, I don't think drivers from Portland would have the spine for driving in downtown London or any of the major European cities. It would take me a month to adjust to commuting in London. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvqnTx8Iz_w&t=243s -- Jay Beattie. |

Because of a criminal act they are calling for segregated bike lanes rather than a very severe penalty for the driver spread all over the media? |

Because of a criminal act they are calling for segregated bike lanes rather than a very severe penalty for the driver spread all over the media? I keep telling y'all that you need to imitate some of the laws we have over here. In Thailand if there is a collision the larger vehicle is initially deemed to be at fault and if there was a death may be charged with "causing a death". Of course, if there are witnesses or other proof that the smaller vehicle is at fault then, the large vehicle is deemed innocent. What would normally happen in a case of a motor vehicle hitting a bicycle, assuming no extenuating proof to the contrary, would be that the motor vehicle owner, or operator, would offer some form of monetary compensation to the family of the dead cyclist and (probably) pay for the funeral. There was a somewhat similar case in San Francisco, years ago, that I read about. A young man who worked for the cable car company was killed on the job and it was shown that the cable car company was at fault (in some manner). The court awarded financial compensation to the family in an amount based on the individual's estimated earning capability over his (probable) remaining lifetime. If a pickup driver knew that if he hit a bicycle and killed or injured the rider, unless there was evidence to prove the bicycle to be in the wrong, that the owner, or operator, of the pickup would have to pay compensation, based on the cyclist's remaining lifetime earning capability than I suspect that the pickup would act very carefully when passing a bicycle. But perhaps that would be deemed "cruel and unusual" punishment. -- Cheers, John B. |
