Speeding cyclist in park mows down child, breaking her leg
“I want him to know what he did—she was in hospital three days and had
to go in for surgery and couldn’t eat or drink for 24 hours before her operation.” Grace’s left leg and shinbone broke when the cyclist fell onto her as he careered onto the grass—in front of her horrified mum sitting on a park bench just a few feet away where she had been keeping watch on her. “I was terrified and went into a state of shock,” the mother-of-two recalls. “The cyclist came from nowhere speeding passed me on the grass where Grace was standing and went over the crossbars and fell on top of her. I was hysterical.” The cyclist, thought to be in his 20s, who was wearing a black flatcap back-to-front and blue-tinted sunglasses, in T-shirt and shorts, had swerved to avoid a four-year-old child on the footpath and ended up hitting Grace. He walked out of the park with his bike while the ambulance crew were treating Grace before taken her to hospital. “A witness saw him on a mobile phone looking backwards while he was racing along the path,” Laura added. http://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.u..._leg_1_4567048 |

You might just as well make it compulsory for cyclists to stop at red traffic lights. |

Worldwide, today saw 3,424 people killed by cars (source: International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group, and the World Health Organization). Yesterday saw around the same number, and tomorrow will see the same number. Almost three and a half thousand people killed every single day by drivers. And this ****ing spastic whines because a child gets a broken leg.

I think we should change speed limits for motor vehicles from advisory to compulsory. |

It says they want cyclists banned from racing through the park. "Racing" in that context is just a synonym for "cycling at speed" and carries no implication of organised or impromptu competition between cyclists. No evidence that a cycle race was in progress at the time. Since cycle-racing, in the normal sense, is not the issue, that's not exactly surprising, is it? There was, however, as I'm sure you noticed, some evidence of inappropriate speed by cyclists: "The Advertiser found several cyclists tearing through the play area in the few short minutes we interviewed Laura—only one slowed down...". Of course, had the child been wearing a helmet this would not have happened. Hilarious. You might just as well make it compulsory for cyclists to stop at red traffic lights. I think we should change speed limits for motor vehicles from advisory to compulsory. Ah, yes... the usual attempt at a cop-out by trying to deflect the blame onto someone else entirely. Well done. Or something. |

I jump red lights and virtually never se anyone else do the same. Amber maybe. -- Chaos will reign over order - it's easier to implement. |

The only thing the cyclist did wrong is to collide with the wrong brat. -- Oh my goodness what a caper, someone's ****ed on the magic paper. |
