The gross stupidity of cyclists will never cease to amaze me.

Far too many motorists think Green Means GO.
In reality a green light means you are permitted to enter the junction if it is safe to do so.
In this case not only did the moronist illegally move on a read+amber light but the junction was not clear.
No evidence the primary road user rode through a red light.

So the BMW accelerates at the cyclist, although the cyclist crossing is
clearly visible from the start.

If the cyclist had stopped or gone back on him self his the BMW would
have hit him.

So a bit like Alliston's offence. Maybe a bit worse because the car
driver accelerates.

Nothing like, one crashed into a pedestrian, causing her death, while
screaming obscenities and riding an illegal bicycle.

The other did not collide with or verbally assault a cyclist that
clearly has no thought for himself or others. He could have done so,
but did not.

You mean trying to alert the pedestrian of his presence.

The other did not collide with or verbally assault a cyclist that
clearly has no thought for himself or others.Â* He could have done so,
but did not.

AIUI Alliston only collided with the pedestrian because she moved
unexpectedly. If the cyclist had moved unexpectedly there would have
been a collision.

I see the BMW jumped the light too, he didn't wait for green. That seems
to me to be as significant as Alliston's lack of a front brake.

I appreciate that your intra-cranial neuronal deficiency is a chronic condition, but can you at least point out which part of my analysis you disagree with.

Did you ever manage to reach the minimum standard of English required of
an entrant on the CSE course?
