QUOTE
"A cyclist has told how she was badly injured when she hit an open manhole which was apparently awaiting repairs on a cycle superhighway in London. Katrina Kersey needed four rounds of surgery on her right arm after breaking her elbow in the cycling crash several years ago. Mrs Kersey was later awarded damages after it apparently took several weeks for the manhole to be repaired after the accident." http://www.standard.co.uk/news/londo...-a3196046.html |

If the cyclists took more care they would avoid such road hazards, particularly since they are in the same location every day, alternately they could use more viable transport. |

It seems that the "jackpot" was awarded after all those injuries and having "four rounds of surgery". When compared to the possibility of not receiving a penny, it must have felt like a "jackpot" to the hapless Ms Kersey. FX: rolls eyes at the sheer stupidity of certain posters |

If she could not see such a huge hole as a completely open manhole, then one must question whether she should be using any personal transport device in public. As it is on a 'cycle way' it does not even blend in to the road colour. |
