Cyclist dies after hitting car door

Artoi wrote Apparently this unfortunate victim is a friend of a poster on one of the cycling forums. According to him, the victim did not wear a helmet. He posted to warn everyone again of the dangers of not wearing a helmet. I can see the police report now. "He wasn't wearing a helmet. Driver has no case to answer. QED". Not as funny as it sounds. If he was not killed but seriously injured, no doubt some court would have held him at least partially 'responsible' for his own injuries. One of the biggest problems with the motorcycle 'lights on' legislation was just that. "He didn't have his light on, the accident was therefore his fault". No helmet or seat belt ever prevented an accident. Theo |
