I have a good clip from this morning where a driver nearly hit me as he went the wrong way around a mini roundabout. I will post it to all three groups at around 1630 when I get home. I have already edited it here at work. It seems to have attracted a lot of interest already. Those glasses have been a good investment. -- Simon Mason |

Simon is a martyr to the cause, He has a death wish which he will no doubt experience in the near future, me I have no sympathy for his type of cycling, he will get what is coming to him at some point, just like the cyclist who ran down and killed my brother. A cyclist killed your brother? How did that happen? He was walking down a country lane, hit by a cyclist, fell over and hit his head against a wall, life support turned of 4 weeks later, he was 60. Very sorry to hear that. Was the cyclist held liable? The cyclist got away scot free. ======================================== Incredible. The cyclist was going too fast to stop in time from the sound of it. No excuse at all. |

Given pretty well every cyclist commits traffic offences many times a day, Incorrect. Assertion /= fact. I'm obviously just speaking for the ones I see. Those that don't go through red traffic lights or ride on the pavement etc are so rare they can safely be ignored, percentage wise. Still incorrect. Assertion != fact. To be fair, it might just be that he doesn't `see' the ones not committing offences. -- Mark |
