Cycle box death judge gets it right for once
QUOTE:
Barry Northcott pulled into the zone which is designed to protect cyclists at a traffic lights in Whitechapel High Street and failed to spot Karla Norman. Jailing him for 15 months this morning, Judge Christopher Kinch QC said: "It may be frustrating to see cyclists - swarming or otherwise - pulling in front at junctions. "But the box is the device placed there to protect vulnerable cyclists from the consequences of not being seen as traffic pulls away. *****"Motorists simply have to accept that, and it is not open to them to decide when and where they may ignore that rule."***** EMPHASIS MINE. He was also banned from driving for five years and 30 weeks. END QUOTE. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/lat...arry-Northcott |
