Red means stop dickhead, part something
I saw an example of why the notion that cyclists running red lights only
hurt themselves is utter ******** this evening. Now admittedly the pedestrian who stepped out onto the crossing a couple of seconds after the light turned red *without looking first* was being a trifle careless but he still should have been able to do that. If the cyclist hadn't run said red light he would have been fine. As it was he got slapped down pretty hard. I don't think he was badly hurt, but he wasn't getting up in a hurry, he definitely looked distressed and I bet he's going to be bloody sore. |

Now if only all the dickheads riding in Brisbane in the dark without lights could run into a pole to learn their lesson, instead of potentially hitting me or some other person trying to do the right thing ... I sympathise with student budgets, but ffs they are already saving a lot by riding a dunger, you'd think they could find $30 for a couple of blinkers. Donga |

Donga Sorry, I just realised how ambiguous that was. The cyclist went down but seemed pretty much ok. It was the ped that really hit the ground. |
