Cyclist kills 6 people in Birmingham

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...eporting-story

Obviously the 'law abiding' motorists had to swerve to avoid an unlit cyclist in dark clothing riding the wrong way on a dual carriageway. Even though there were no red lights for the cyclist to jump, I am sure we will be told this was a major factor.

What are you doing Simon? Trying to descend to typical cager level ?

6(six) people died, I don't think anyone should use that as an attempt
to look like your point scoring (yes I know cagers do that but surely
you are above such things).

There may well have been a cyclist that caused that crash, he would have
cleared off sharpish, as they usually do.

These six people definitely were killed by cyclists:

Peter Craig
Mary Evans
Rhiannon Bennett
Kim Briggs
Ronald Turner
Diana Walker

'cager' what a quaint term.

A perfectly ordinary day in motor land. I wonder why that particular 6
got all the attention.

It seems that there is more to this case than meets the eye.

At least one of the people involved has (or should I say "had") form for
this sort of thing.

One of the six victims of a multi-car fatal crash in Birmingham had
served a prison sentence over a 130mph police pursuit, the BBC understands.

Kasar Jehangir, 25, was jailed for three years for dangerous driving and
possession with intent to supply in November 2016. [ ... ]

Mr Jehangir - released earlier in 2017 and under probation service
supervision - died on Sunday while travelling in an Audi with *****
*****, 26, and ******** *****, 30, who also died. A fourth man, aged 22,
was seriously injured.
ENDQUOTE

Assuming him to have been the driver, and even assuming that he'd ever
had a licence in the first place, it is not even slightly likely that
the inevitable disqualification dating from November 2016 would yet be
at an end.

He therefore would not be a driver. All he would be qualified to drive
woud be a bicycle, making Jester's "jokey" thread title likely to be
accurate.
