What absolute nonsense, every post you have made on this has been absolutely devoid of all reason, you have introduced bizarre concepts such as the 'door zone' and alleged that the cyclists speed was too fast. I really don't think you have a leg to stand on here, your wriggling and justifications are hysterically funny to watch but quite bonkers. It must be something in the air today, in other news, this also made me chuckle http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/7271514.stm I don't suppose it being dark and his having no lights on would have made much difference given that he was registered blind, but more so what business does a 77 year old living in a nursing home have keeping a tractor and trailer for day trips to Perth.
Blimi, since when was cycling through a red light punishable by summary execution?! Much as we might like it to be...
So when the HC tells the cyclist that he is advised to ride away from parked cars, that's a bizarre concept is it?. Twat.
I didn't say that - I'm just pointing out that's it not correct to say that the HC has the force of law. Isn't that the principal purpose of usenet? :/
The outcome was taken into consideration, rather than his actions. Were you a member of the jury then, or in the public gallery? We will just have to trust the judge. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest * 2 Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +----------------------------------------------------------------+
Yup, and while I agree that a cycle is lighter than a motorcycle, the effect will still be great on the bike that hits it. Rather greater than it will be with a car.
<VVBG> I should charge an admission fee. I had thought of lecturing the twonks on mathematics as well.
I see. So "far too many" = "as a whole", or a majority, does it? Back to remedial English classies for you, laddie.
Don't worry. Luke seems to be one of those posters who extrapolates wildly, adds his own spin, and then presents it as gospel.
