Cyclist killed in King's Lynn - hit & run
In King's Lynn. On Teletext - current URL
http://www.teletext.co.uk/news/story...&intarticlenum ber=3&intRegionID=1&intSubsectionID=1&From=I&inden t=30 I'm not putting a shorter URL - as Teletext changes what's on a page quite frequently. The full text is below though. "CYCLIST KILLED IN HIT-AND-RUN Police are appealing for witnesses after a cyclist died in a hit-and-run accident in Norfolk. The cyclist was in collision with a metallic burgundy vehicle which failed to stop in Wootton Road, King's Lynn. Police have not yet named the cyclist, but said he was a 33-year-old local man. The car will have notable front end damage, a spokesman said.

John B I know as I type this you will probably reply"mind your own business yank" But I think you guys are straying from the spirit of the subject. It is a sad thing for the family especially when no closure can be attained because someone is not responsible enough to admit to their guilt. It is especially true here in the states. Too much freedom ,not enough responsibility. Just human nature I guess although I will never accept that as an excuse. Bad time to lose a family member, of course there is no good time. I sure hope the offending person is found soon for the sake of the family. -- |

I am indeed quite concerned about where this will all eventually lead, having four children. The future for them is not good. I am sure there are many who would say in all seriousness "see? those bloody cyclists, always in collision with road-owners" It is a statement which to me is far too close to the truth. The sentences handed out to the killers are a complete joke. Its not as if they can be concerned about the penalties - a few points and a hundred or so quid fine - they are laughable. I can only these morons are *so* wedded to their motor vehicles that they cannot contemplate life without them, *if* they ended up without them. They place more importance on that than anything financial penalties the courts hand out. Until this car-reliance is addressed then I fear the killers will continue to roam our roads at will and cyclists will eventually be forced off them. John B |

The thing is, as is usual in these cases, the newspaper reports that the cyclist was "in collision with" the motor vehicle. Usually (as in almost always, when discussed here anyway) it means the motor vehicle driver crashed into the cyclist. Why not the motor vehicle was in collision with the cyclist? Why not the motor vehicle and the cyclist collided? To say that the cyclist was "in collision with" the motor vehicle implies, to many of us, that the cyclist was in some way at fault. Generally they aren't. Guy === May contain traces of irony. Contents liable to settle after posting. http://chapmancentral.demon.co.uk |

John B Wish I had a quick solution to negligent people. The only thought I can leave you with is to spend time with those children. I lost my son 2 years ago in an auto accident. Wish I had the time to do over. Too many things not done and not said. Hope you have a great holiday. -- |
