70% Black Car [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tdown.gif[/img] , 29.95% Pedal Cyclist [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tdown.gif[/img] , 0.04% Lady Driver [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/good.gif[/img] , 0.01% Higgs Boson.

How fast was that cyclist approaching that junction? Sheesh, even I slow down occasionally! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cuckoo.gif[/img]
Would be interesting to see a days worth of that Go-Pro footage and how invincible he thought he was. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/punishment.gif[/img] That guys bike would have been crushed sooner or later methinks.



Good luck missus!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well you can guarantee it was withing the speed limit, he had a flashing front light working and he appeared to be clear of other vehicles and still wasn't looked at and seen.

I'm guessing if you had been doing the same speed you wouldn't have slowed as you had the right of way, you could have had HiZiz on with a headlight and that driver may have still driven into your path.

thank goodness he had a camera going to prove his case as i am thinking the lying drivers would have put him in the wrong somehow.

Also it is totally irelevent how he rode his bike in other areas, it is what happened there that matters.

All this could have, might have done this or that if he had done something else is conjecture on something that has not or may not happen.

I was brought up to understand the priority on the road is pedestians, horses, Cyclists, motorcylist and then motor vehicles. In other words look after the vulnerable.
